Back in the good old days there was official 1st-party support for Linux:
https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads
Those binaries could be tar xvf'd and used without any fuss or muss, from any location, on any distro.
I'm the core maintainer of https://webinstall.dev/ and I'm thinking to break our "official builds only" rule because, well, I haven't been able to find any way to get up-to-date builds from an official channel - and apt is always half-a-decade out-of-date (part of the reason for Webi, but Webi is far worse in this case, stuck at v10).
Could I get some help on how to do that?
Are the old build processes documented somewhere? Or are there some scripts in a far corner of the Internet that could still do that?
Or what options might I need to pass to ./configure to get it to build with relative locations?
I'm not a C developer, and I'm not familiar with C build tools beyond ./configure; make; sudo make install.
I'd really appreciate some direction on this. Thanks.
