Description Alexander Kurakin 2020-05-13 13:24:38 UTC

Good day!

I'm installing dev-db/pgadmin4 to control a *remote* PostgreSQL server. I get dev-db/postgresql through dev-python/psycopg.

Let's create a `remote` flag for this situation?

Thanks!

P.S. For instance, app-emulation/docker-compose doesn't install app-emulation/docker, at all.

psycopg needs libpq from postgresql in order to build.  If you don't need the whole database server locally, you can just put 'dev-db/postgresql -server' in your /etc/portage/package.use

Ok, thanks!
