Two bugs in the RPM specs?

Hi Michael,

Thanks for checking the spec files:

I was looking at the RPM specs that are published here:
https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=pgrpms.git;a=summary

And I have noticed two things that look incorrect to me in a couple
of
spec files.  For example, take:
rpm/redhat/master/non-common/postgresql-14/main/postgresql-14.spec:
1) The libs package lists libpgfeutils.a, but shouldn't this static
library be part of the devel package instead?

Actually we should not package that file anyway (per guidelines).
Removed, thanks.

2) hstore_plperl and jsonb_plperl are part of the contrib package,
but
shouldn't they be part of the plperl package?  My point is that this
is inconsistent with the transforms for PL/Python, where jsonb, ltree
and hstore are part of plpython3.

This is also a packaging error. Moved all jsonb* stuff into -contrib
package, where it belongs.

These will appear on PG 14+. I can backpatch the 1st one, but
definitely not the second one.

Thanks again.

Just by curiosity, why this choice for jsonb? Those transform
libraries have a dependency on plperl and plpython. So, while for
ltree the location does not matter as both the contrib and the
corresponding PL packages need to be installed, why not putting the
jsonb transforms into the PL packages? One way or another is not a
big deal, of course, but a user could do a jsonb/pl{perl,python}
transform without the need to install the contrib package :)

Thanks!
