Thread: Latest source RPMs for 8.1.20
I'm looking for the latest source RPMs for Postgres 8.1.20 on RHEL. I can see 8.1.19 here: http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/srpms/8.1/redhat/rhel-4-i386/repoview/postgresql.html Would it be safe to say that I can download the 8.1.19 source RPM, replace the postgresql-8.1.19.tar.bz2 tarball with the postgresql-8.1.20.tar.bz2 tarball, update the versions in the spec file, then build the RPM? I noticed there are other patch files installed by the source RPM, so I didn't know if I would be missing any other potential patch files. Thanks. -- Justin Pasher

It's not a super high priority for the developers. We even have some legacy sites running 7.4. I'd love to get everything moved to a more recent version... -- Justin Pasher

Binaries only. I think the evolution of the species made that release starve and disappear. :-( -- Vincenzo Romano NotOrAnd Information Technologies NON QVIETIS MARIBVS NAVTA PERITVS
