The link you gave is the only exception in 14 different combinations, because of a wrong major cleanup that I performed 2 weeks ago. I re-uploaded -devel to the repository. http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.3/os/x86_64/CentOS/postgresql-devel-8.1.11-1.el5_1.1.i386.rpm See this as an example to Red Hat (and CentOS), > Because Debian includes Postgres in its > main package repository and uses automated build tools, Debian is > unlikely to suffer the same fate. This is nonsense. Both Debian, Fedora, Red Hat, CentOS and OpenSUSE has automated build tools and QA. -- Devrim GÜNDÜZ, RHCE Command Prompt - http://www.CommandPrompt.com devrim~gunduz.org, devrim~PostgreSQL.org, devrim.gunduz~linux.org.tr http://www.gunduz.org Twitter: http://twitter.com/devrimgunduz
