Re: upgrading postgresql84 package from rhel-x86_64-server-5 repo

Hi,

Ahh, you are using Red Hat's packages. Community packages support postgresql84 naming scheme for RHEL 6. You may want to pester Red Hat for updated packages (i.e. Tom), or use ours (which is fully compatible with RH packages). Usually community pushes updates quicker.

I am sure you can replace rh packages with ours pretty easily.

Devrim,

Yes, I checked there. The problem is the package names don't match. I currently have a package named "postgresql84" installed. The postgresql.org repo has the "postgresql" package. Is it possible to upgrade "postgresql84" using the RPM from "postgresql" ?

Regards,
John

Hi,

http://yum.postgresql.org/8.4/redhat/rhel-5Server-x86_64/

I can see 8.4.17 there. Maybe you checked somewhere else?

I hope this is the correct mailing list for installation issues.

We currently have postgresql84-8.4.5 installed on our server. I would like to upgrade it to postgresql84-8.4.17. However, the rhel-x86_64-server-5 repo only goes up to postgresql84-8.4.13.

Is there another repo I can use for the postgresql84 packages that has postgresql84-8.4.17? Or an RPM I can get somewheres? Why is the rhel-x86_64-server-5 repo not current? 

Or do I have to do a complete reinstall from "postgresql84" packages to "postgresql" packages in order to use a new repo, such as yum.postgresql.org?

Any advice on how to go about this is greatly
appreciated.

Thanks!
John
