pgxman install
adds pgxman’s repository to your system, followed by package installations through
your system’s native package manager.apt
-driven systems of Debian and Ubuntu are supported.
pgxman currently builds packages for
Debian Bookworm
and Ubuntu Jammy.
In the future, other package managers and operating systems will be supported. Currently, we plan to target:
apt
.
All pgxman packages are marked as “held back” with apt-mark hold
, which prevents them from accidential installations,
upgrades, or removals outside of pgxman.
search
or install
, the buildkit
metadata is used to obtain information about that extension. A cached copy
of this repository is stored in the pgxman
folder in your user config
directory.
Each buildkit specifies how to build each extension, and the buildkit build
system builds it for each package manager. When a buildkit is added or updated,
a build is conducted automatically (using Github Actions) and the packages are
stored in pgxman’s repository.
pgxman build
uses Docker to build the buildkit packages locally. The result
is placed into the out/
directory in your current working directory.
