    ## Background
    The PostgreSQL extension ecosystem is large (1,000+), while the official PGDG repositories package approximately 150. PGEXT.CLOUD aims to narrow the installability gap by shipping Linux-native RPM/DEB packages across 14 mainstream Linux distributions and multiple PostgreSQL major versions.

    - Newly added extensions: pg_clickhouse, pg_textsearch, pg_ttl_index, etcd_fdw.
    ## Key Properties
    - Linux-native packages: RPM/DEB packages designed to integrate cleanly with distribution package managers.
    - PGDG-compatible: Designed to work alongside official PostgreSQL packages and repositories.
    - GPG-signed: All repository packages are signed. Details and fingerprints: GPG Key.
    - DIY RPM/DEB Builds: Extensions can be rebuilt via `pig build`.
