[GENERAL] Windows installer for pg-8.4 confusion
First, thanks to everyone who contributed to 8.4 -- the new features list looks great! In the past I have always installed the Windows binary installer from postgresql.org. For pg-8.4 I see that the download directory now has a pointer to the EnterpriseDB one click installer. Has the EnterpriseDB installer now become the official Windows distribution? Or will the standard pginstaller appear some time in the future? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

Hi, having a look at http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.4rc1/win32/ will answer your question ;-) Cheers Andy -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

Hi, having a look at http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.4rc1/win32/ Thanks, it did. :-) For future mail list searchers, it says, As of PostgreSQL 8.4, the MSI installer is no longer being maintained. Please use the one-click installer instead, which may be downloaded from [...] [aside to the postgresql.org maintainers: Perhaps the readme in the v8.4.0/win32/ directory should also include that statement?] -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

No, it won't be produced in the future. It's been deprecated due to the high maintenance overhead and how difficult it is to debug problems, amongst other reasons. [aside to the postgresql.org maintainers: Perhaps the readme in the v8.4.0/win32/ directory should also include that statement?] I've updated the wording, and removed the old beta/rc directories. The changes should show up in the next few hours. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

The MSI one was just too hard to build and didn't have any advantages of the EnterpriseDB one. We do have all the specs of how to build the EnterpriseDB one so anyone else can reproduce it if necessary. -- Bruce Momjian br...@momjian.ushttp://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
