Hello Everyone,

I tried to send something out Thursday about this to pgsql-performance, 
and I tried to send something out last night about this to 
pgsql-announce. Neither seem to have gotten through, or approved. =( =( =(

Thursday to the Performance List:

Hello Everyone,

New packages for 8.4.4 on CentOS 5.5 and RHEL 5.5 (all arches), have 
been built, and are available in the PGDG repo.

http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/8.4/redhat/rhel-5-i386/

Again, I extend deep apologies for the inconvenience.

If there is anything further we can help with, please let us know.

Regards,

Lacey



And last night, for a public announcement:


Dear PostgreSQL RPMS users,

There was a mistake with the 8.4.4 packages resulting in --enable-debug 
and --enable-cassert being enabled in the packages for CentOS 5.5 x86_64 
and i386.

This has been corrected in the 8.4.4-2PGDG packages, which are in the 
PostgreSQL RPMS repository.

Please update to these corrected packages as soon as possible.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Regards,

Lacey


I had this fixed and out in the repo about an hour after I was made 
aware of it (Alvaro let me know at ~9:30AM PDT ( Thank you *so* much, 
Alvaro! =) ), and I had things out at ~10:45AM PDT, and tried to reply 
shortly thereafter. =( ), and tried to let people know as best I could.

I know there are a great deal of concerns regarding this, and I am 
greatly sorry for any trouble that was caused, and will add tests to the 
build process to ensure that this does not happen again. =(

Given the concern, I thought I'd try posting a reply here, to this 
email, to soothe fears, and to plead for some moderator help, since both 
of my emails are most likely stuck in moderation. =( =(

Again, I'm sorry for the issues I caused, and I will endeavor to make 
the turnaround and notification time quicker in the future. =(

If there are further questions, or needs, please let me know, and I will 
try to get them addressed as soon as I can.

Apologies,

Lacey
