I'm sure that's one of the > reasons that RHEL 5.5 shipped PostgreSQL 8.4 along with 8.1. > Can addons to postgres (and I realize we have many different types of addons... perhaps we need to know if there's a a majority of one or the other or an intuitive way to break the addons into categories) be used with both postgresql-8.1 and postgresql-8.4 from a single package or do they need multiple packages? Since we do have multiple versions of postgresql now (in RHEL5.5) it makes sense to me to keep the postgresql prefix to separate the two versions from each other. Having users search for "orafce" if it's targeting postgresql-8.1 and postgresql84-orafce if it's targeting postgresql-8.4 in bugzilla, yum install, etc, isn't a great experience. -Toshio
