https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/PostgreSQL_13 == Summary == Update of PostgreSQL (`postgresql` and `libpq` components) in Fedora from version 12 to version 13 in the non-modular (main) builds. == Owner == * Name: [[User:panovotn| Patrik Novotny]] * Email: panovotn@xxxxxxxxxx == Detailed Description == Update of PostgreSQL (`postgresql` and `libpq` components) in Fedora from version 12 to version 13 in the non-modular (main) builds. This also involves updating and rebuilding the PostgreSQL plugins that depend on postgresql server. == Benefit to Fedora == Latest stable software is used by Fedora users. == Scope == * Proposal owners: <!-- What work do the feature owners have to accomplish to complete the feature in time for release? Is it a large change affecting many parts of the distribution or is it a very isolated change? What are those changes?--> **Prepare PostgreSQL 13 as a module for Rawhide and at least one stable Fedora release (done) **Prepare PostgreSQL 12 as a module for Rawhide, so there would be a failover in case of problems **Build PostgreSQL 13 to Rawhide **Check software that requires or depends on `postgresql-server` or `libpq` packages for incompatibilities **Gather user input on the changes between PostgreSQL 12 and PostgreSQL 13 * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) == Upgrade/compatibility impact == The PostgreSQL client library (libpq component) is compatible, so there shouldn't be any issues, but rebuild of the depended components is better to be sure. There is a [https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/panovotn/postgresql-13beta2/ COPR build] available for testing. Server plugins might require a newer version update, because they sometimes have explicit server requirements. PostgreSQL maintainer will help fixing/rebuilding any issues in the plugins. == How To Test == Usual testing as when upgrading between major PostgreSQL versions, running `postgresql-setup --upgrade` is necessary between major versions. Test that all other software runs well with PostgreSQL 13. == User Experience == The users will have to upgrade their databases the same way as between major PostgreSQL versions, aka `postgresql-setup --upgrade`. If users want to stick with PostgreSQL 12 for a little longer, there should be PostgreSQL 12 module. If users want to test it before it reaches Fedora 33, there is a [https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/panovotn/postgresql-13beta2/ COPR build] available. == Dependencies == There are some packages (mostly server plugins), that build on top of PostgreSQL. Since the separation of PostgreSQL client library (libpq component), only packages that build server plugins should use postgresql package in BuildRequires, others should use libpq. In both the cases, rebuild should be done to make sure all potential binary incompatibilities are handled. == Contingency Plan == Modules will provide the functional version of PostgreSQL 12, available to all users. == Documentation == Upgrade startegy: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/upgrading.html == Release Notes == Release notes for PostgreSQL 13 release: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/index.html Overall overview of the changes and improvements: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/release-13.html -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Senior Program Manager, Fedora & CentOS Stream Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
