ubuntu packages for 8.4
I don't see any ubuntu packages for 8.4 in the default repositories.
Does anybody know if they will be upgrading the postgresql package to
8.4 or creating a new package for it.
I'd rather use the packages than to compile it myself. If anybody has
an argument as to why I should compile it I am all ears.
TIA.

I just forwarded your message to Martin Pitt, he's the package maintain for
Postgres for Ubuntu (and Debian, I believe). I don't know if this is
planned for Karmic Koala (to be released in October).

I was looking for this the other day. I found it in lenny backports, but
I haven't tried it yet.

The postgresql-8.4 packages arrived in 9.10 (Karmic) about two hours
ago. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postgresql-8.4
Assuming you are not running the 9.10 prerelease, you may want to
request a backport to whatever Ubuntu release you are running -
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackport. This should be no
drama.
Major postgresql releases always get a new package. This allows you to
have multiple major versions installed and running simultaneously.

Awesome. Thanks a lot for the information.

As 8.4 is not data-compatible with 8.3, it will be a new package.
if ubuntu are usiung pg-wrapper (like debian does) you will be able to
install both at the same time using the normal package manager.

you should wait. 8.4 is in debian now so should be in ubuntu RSN.

One day I'm sure it will even be available in Gentoo.
*sigh*
