Thread: Fwd: Re: BUG #18366: Not present at postgresql.org YUM repository

I wonder if we can fix the download pages to not give the impression
that every PG version is available for every platform?

Thanks for the EOL pointer, Tom,

On page:
https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/

The selection set allows:

 1. Version: 16
 2. Platform: RHEL, CentOS, ... 7
 3. Architecture: x86_64

and it gives "yum install -y postgresql16-server"
which then does not work.

The RHEL7 is rather old, but it isn't quite yet EOL - it will be on 30 June 2024.

Thanks,
Matti Aarnio

This is on the todo list of the -www team, AFAIK.
