Configuring Supporting Components
Many of the supporting components distributed via the pgedge repository
follow standard configuration and usage as documented by their open-source
projects.
To review a list of packages available from the pgedge repository, use the
command:
apt list | grep pgedge-*
Package names and links to the component documentation are noted in the
table below. _XX after the package name indicates the package version is
required; substitute your version into the package name (for example
pgedge-spock50_17 or pgedge-spock50_18) when installing the package to
ensure you've installed the version that matches your copy of Postgres.
