Description

This issue is a follow up of PR #1450.

@bzed mentioned that it might be beneficial to add the version to the instance name. this would allow the user to have instances of the same name with different versions. A good example is an upgrade to a newer version.

Possible pitfalls:

  • package management
  • dependency to postgresql::server for defaults
  • postgresql::globals expects a single string for $version

might be a good preparation for #1524

Research direction

Start by reading PR #1450 and the related discussion, then inspect how instance names, versions, package management, postgresql::server defaults, and postgresql::globals are handled. Done means the module can manage same-named instances on different PostgreSQL versions without breaking those dependencies; consider how this prepares for #1524.
