OK, I will look for them. Actually slack does not have postgresql at all. You
need to build it by hand.

What I have built is bare minimum. Libpq+plpgsql and core. That's it. Obviously
it won't fly much in real world but that's all I need. So I don't want to show
up a package which does not have half the things people frequently use.

Will check up on rpms on what components they enable.
