--------------------------------------------------------------------- PostgreSQL New RPM Sets 2007-02-08
Versions: 8.2.3, 8.1.8, 8.0.12 Set label: 8.2.3-1PGDG, 8.1.8-1PGDG, 8.0.12-1PGDG --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Release Info: PostgreSQL RPM Building Project has released RPMs for new PostgreSQL minor releases, and they are available in main FTP site and its mirrors. Users should upgrade to these versions as soon as possible. We currently have RPMs for: - Fedora Core 2-x86_64 - Fedora Core 4 - Fedora Core 5 - Fedora Core 5-x86_64 - Fedora Core 6 - Fedora Core 6-x86_64 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Enterprise Server 3.0 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Enterprise Server 4 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Enterprise Server 4-x86_64 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 4 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 4-x86_64 More may come later. I want to thank every package builder for this great number of supported platforms. Support for Red Hat 9, RHEL 2.1 and Fedora Core 1 and 3 was already abandoned . Fedora Core 2 and Fedora Core 4 support will be abandoned in future releases. Please let us know if you can assist us in building RPMS of missing Red Hat / Fedora Core platforms. There is a new package layout as of PostgreSQL 8.2.2. All previous releases were including a single postgresql-pl package which included PL/Perl, PL/Python and PL/Tcl. Since the old layout made people install all dependencies for all languages, we splitted this package into 3 subpackage to have less dependencies: * postgresql-plperl * postgresql-plpython * postgresql-pltcl Either of these packages will obsolete postgresql-pl, so install whichever you want during the upgrade. 8.2.3 set contains a package that was introduced in 8.2.0: compat-postgresql-libs. Fedora Core 5, Fedora Core 6, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 ship with libpq.so.4. Any apps that are built against libpq need this, like php-pgsql, However, since PostgreSQL 8.2 ships with libpq.so.5, users will need old libs in order not to break apps. For example, if you are running PHP+PostgreSQL 8.1.X on FC6 and if you want to upgrade to PostgreSQL 8.2, you will need this package before upgrading to 8.2. We are shipping libpq.so.4 with this new set. Please install compat-postgresql-libs before installing other packages. For complete list of changes in RPM sets, please refer to the changelogs in the RPMs. Use rpm -q -changelog package_name for querying the changelog. Since this release is not a major release, it will not requires a dump/reload from the previous release. However, if you are upgrading from very early releases, you may need to upgrade. Please see the Release Notes to confirm procedures for this. The SRPMs are also provided. Please note that we have one SRPM for all platforms. We also have a howto document about RPM installation of PostgreSQL: http://pgfoundry.org/docman/?group_id=1000048 Please follow the instructions before installing/upgrading. Almost each RPM has been signed by the builder, and each directory contains CURRENT_MAINTAINER file which includes the name/email of the package builder and link to their PGP key.
