That is true, with regard to PostGIS in particular I've had to do quite a
bit of hackery to get things to work (and I'm currently broken at the
moment).

Nevertheless, Amazon Linux is the one way to get competent kernel defect
support on AWS , so I'm fairly committed to using it. The newer userland
packages are also sometimes useful. And most pgdg packages compile fine.

As-is I'd probably continue to maintain a barely-good-enough fork of pgrpms
to do my packages. Is there a better way?
