Why is there no 8.3.16 rpm with _id ?

Hi

pgsql-www really isn't the list for this. I'd suggest -general.

hi,
we'd like to upgrade to newest 8.3, and we're on 8.3.11 _id, but it
looks like 8.3.11 is the newest version of 8.3 built with integer
datetimes:
http://yum.postgresql.org/8.3/redhat/rhel-5-x86_64-id/repoview/

Is there any reason for this, and will there be any newer versions built
with integer datetimes?

Best regards,

I have no intention to build the -id packages again, given the lack of
request (first request since 8.3.11...). You can build your own packages
quite easily, though.

But... aren't integer datetimes supposed to be the default, with float
datetimes quickly becoming deprecated?
Or does the current package (w/o the -id suffix) already implement that default?

I don't run PG on Linux, but I imagine those who do might be
interested in the answer ;)

id is default in 8.4, and I am/was looking for 8.3.

Hey Devrim, any chance you have published your rpm spec files you used
on the earlier 8.3 -id builds? I looked around and couldn't find one.

They were in the previous repo -- anyway, I just update the spec file to
8.3.16:

http://svn.pgrpms.org/browser/rpm/redhat/8.3/postgresql-intdatetime

It also includes the patches.

Anyway, here are the 8.3.16-id packages. I had some free cycles this
morning, so I built them:

http://yum.postgresql.org/8.3/redhat/rhel-5-x86_64-id/repoview/
http://yum.postgresql.org/8.3/redhat/rhel-5-i386-id/repoview/
