Well, in any case, we need to have -devel package installed, and
AFAICS the packages are compiled for each version of PG, or at least
there is a mention of the PG version to use for checking on include
files (check for the -devel package to be installed) and the bindir.

On debian's repmgr package from pgdg, binaries go to /usr/bin/, but on
RHEL they go with the binaries of the version they were compiled
against, i.e. /usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/ for 9.3. If they are compatible, we
could just make 1 package for any version on PG.

Also checking through both packaging, I think we should add some
examples (repmgr.conf.sample) to the rpm. Does are sometimes very
valuable.

P.D.: Will send comments and files on another reply.
