Hi All,

My production boxes are running on Redhat 5 and I need to build
Postgresql 9.4 rpm for it following our environment setup.
If I build the rpm on Centos 5, will it be ok to run on Red Hat 5 boxes?
Can you please let me know?

Thanks.

CentOS 5 and RHEL 5 are binary compatible, so yes.

However, is there a reason you aren't just using yum.postgresql.org?

We have all our scripts running on older Postrgesql versions for years
where it is using PGHOME and other paths. We need to make the 9.4 rpm to
follow those directory structure.
Considering above, am I going on right track? Please let me know.

Thanks.

How did you install the Postgres version you have running now?

Thanks.

We build our own rpms.

Thanks.

Confusion on my part. When you say scripts below are you talking about
scripts you use to start/stop/monitor/otherwise control Postgres or the
scripts you use to build the RPMs?

Thanks.

Yes, these are the scripts to start/stop/manipulate data etc.

Well it seems you have two choices:

1) Use someone else's packaging and change the above scripts

2) Use your previous custom RPM configuration to build the 9.4 RPMs and
keep your scripts as is.

Thanks.
