I decided to do this as soon as I figured out that configuration options
(such as how datetime is stored - float vs integer) could change from
release to release. I much prefer to keep a stable PostgreSQL, and
upgrade the OS underneath it. It's been several years with this model,
and it's always been very simple to maintain. I recently documented the
instructions for another team and they fit within about 10 lines that
could be cut + pasted.
Cheers,
