Re: PgInstallerfor 8.1 beta 3 missing Postgis?

Magnus,
Well I checked out with the PostGIS people and their advice was that if you are restoring Postgis Databases you need Perl installed so that the restore.pl script can be run. This affects any upgrade from 0.9 or lower versions of PostGIS to 1.0 or higher.

Given the other changes between 8.0 and 8.1 in Postgres it is probably worthwhile having a README that opens as soon as the installer is done with information on upgrading from previous installations as well as pointers to the change log.

Cheers
Johan Wehtje

Magnus,
I have replied to general as well as the only mailing list I could find on PG Foundry for pginstaller was the Devel list.

I actually do have all those files - the trouble is that the name changes make pg_restore fail on a dump from a 8.0.3 Database with spatial (postgis) tables.

Possibly the Perl scripts would take care of this? should I be installing Perl ?

Okay. Then you really have the whole thing instlaled, and I think the
installer did its job right. I don't know about the postgis upgrade
stuff in particular, you'd better check that with the postgis people
(www.postgis.org). It sounds like it should do it, but I can't tell you
for sure.
