Thread: Need refresh on main page...
The following is the next-to-last paragraph on our main news page:
RedHat RPMs for v6.5.1 on i386 machines are now available at
ftp://postgresql.org/pub/RPMS/ Please report any questions or problems
to pgsql-ports@postgresql.org. For details check out the Latest News.
RPMs for v6.5.2 are available, built by Lamar, and we need to get
these posted at postgresql.org (they are shipping with the latest RH
release already). Lamar, I dropped the ball on this; where would I
pick up the RPMs?

Lamar, I dropped the ball on this; where would I > pick up the RPMs? There are now many sites -- the best connected of which is rufus.w3.org. If you use wget, try wget ftp://rufus.w3.org/linux/redhat/redhat-6.1/SRPMS/SRPMS/postgr* to get the source rpm. Binaries for RedHat 6.1 are in ftp://rufus.w3.org/linux/redhat/redhat-6.1/i386/RedHat/RPMS/postg* Binaries for RedHat 6.0 and RedHat 5.2 are only available on my site so far: wget -r http://www.ramifordistat.net/postgres/RPMS All binaries mentioned are Intel. RedHat 6.1, of course, also shipped for sparc and Alpha -- rufus is a good mirror. I would like to hear from someone who will try the RedHat 6.1 RPMS on a RedHat 6._0_ system -- if they work fine, I'll remove the 6.0 rpms, and replace with the 6.1 RPM's. I had already updated my systems, quite foolishly, to 6.1, when I realized that RPMS built on 6.1 _might_ not run on 6.0. I should have run the 6.1 RPMset on 6.0 first, but I didn't. 6.1 is too nice to downgrade from, IMO. If, OTOH, they don't work fine, well, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. That bridge will involve me blowing RedHat 6.0 back into one partition on my dev box, just like 5.2 has its own partition. If any developers who want to try the RPM's, but do not have RedHat and don't want to pay $30 for a set of CD's, check out www.cheapbytes.com -- cheapest place on the Internet for Linux and *BSD CD's. $1.99 US will get you a RedHat 6.1 CD (plus shipping). Of course, you can download the ISO images and burn your own CD.... BTW: Only one bug in the 6.5.2-1 RPMS has been reported to Bugzilla (developer.redhat.com/bugzilla) -- and that was the lack of postgresql-clients (needless to say, the bug was quickly resolved ;-)).

Would someone > care to give me some updated text for that as well? "RPM's for PostgreSQL 6.5.2 are now available, and shipped with RedHat Linux version 6.1. Included in these RPMS: * Functional pgAccess 0.98 * Patches to support the Alpha under RedHat Linux * The regression tests (postgresql-test*.rpm) * Updated man pages from Thomas Lockhart * Patches from Thomas Lockhart to gram.y * Migration scripts to aid in moving between database file formats * The PostgreSQL-HOWTO. To install, simply use 'rpm -i' to install each RPM you want. A minimal server installation is postgresql and postgresql-server. The first time the init script is run, the database structure will automatically be created if one doesn't already exist. To upgrade, simply use 'rpm -U' to upgrade each rpm. The postgresql-clients rpm found in versions prior to 6.5 has been split up into several different packages, and will be removed in the upgrade. After performing 'rpm -U', please read the file '/usr/doc/postgresql-6.5.2/README.rpm' for instructions on completing the upgrade. If you make heavy use of large objects and other structures that are difficult to dump with pg_dump, you will need to make other upgrade provisions. More detailed documentation is also available at http://www.ramifordistat.net" ??? Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11

I don't know if Oliver has updated the Debian packages (which he maintains) for PostgreSQL to 6.5.2. As for RPM's for other than RedHat, I'm working on that problem.

Runs great within cron -- the -q switch is your friend ;-). I mirror
via cron using wget the update repository on rufus -- another great part
of wget is the ability to infinitely retry (-t 0).
For some reason I didn't get the reply from Thomas. I don't _think_ I
had a network glitch (he says while firing up a log analyzer...)...

The 6.5.2-2 packages for Debian have just been installed and should be on
the Debian mirrors within the next day. They are to be found in the
unstable ("potato") distribution at ftp.debian.org/debian/ (or mirrors)
as follows:
Binary packages for i386:
dists/potato/main/binary-i386/misc/postgresql_6.5.2-2.deb
dists/potato/main/binary-i386/misc/postgresql-client_6.5.2-2.deb
dists/potato/main/binary-i386/misc/postgresql-contrib_6.5.2-2.deb
dists/potato/main/binary-i386/libs/ecpg_6.5.2-2.deb
dists/potato/main/binary-i386/libs/postgresql-pl_6.5.2-2.deb
dists/potato/main/binary-i386/libs/libpgsql2_6.5.2-2.deb
dists/potato/main/binary-i386/devel/postgresql-dev_6.5.2-2.deb
dists/potato/main/binary-all/doc/postgresql-doc_6.5.2-2.deb
dists/potato/main/binary-all/misc/pgaccess_6.5.2-2.deb
dists/potato/main/binary-i386/libs/libpgtcl_6.5.2-2.deb
dists/potato/main/binary-i386/libs/libpgperl_6.5.2-2.deb
dists/potato/main/binary-i386/libs/python-pygresql_6.5.2-2.deb
dists/potato/main/binary-i386/libs/odbc-postgresql_6.5.2-2.deb
dists/potato/main/binary-i386/misc/postgresql-test_6.5.2-2.deb
Source package:
dists/potato/main/source/misc/postgresql_6.5.2.orig.tar.gz
dists/potato/main/source/misc/postgresql_6.5.2-2.diff.gz
dists/potato/main/source/misc/postgresql_6.5.2-2.dsc
Binary packages for other architectures should start to appear shortly;
substitute the appropriate architecture for `i386' in the above paths.
Standard caution:
Note that these packages are not part of the released stable Debian
distribution. They may have dependencies on other unreleased software,
or other instabilities. Please take care if you wish to install them.
The updates will eventually make their way into the next released Debian
distribution.

I've fetched the RPMs from rufus.org and from Lamar's own site to give
a complete set of RPMs at ftp://postgresql.org/pub/{RPMS,SRPMS}.
Lamar, there is a slight difference in sizes of srpm files fetched
using wget from rufus.org and from your site:
>From ramisartpuyaartelh:
... 7456019 Sep 27 13:52 postgresql-6.5.2-1.src.rpm
>From rufus (via wget):
... 7456234 Sep 26 23:01 postgresql-6.5.2-1.src.rpm
I've put your srpm on postgresql.org, but I'm not sure if it is the
right choice. Why the difference??
- Thomas
btw, I didn't know about wget; it solves all the problems I was
worried about wrt updating postgresql.org from your site. Nice
utility...
