Hello,

I possibly missed an e-mail in -hackers list; but for the people who
does not read this list, I was expecting an initdb warning in RC1
announcement. I got this after installing 8.2 RC1 RPMs:

FATAL: database files are incompatible with server
DETAIL: The database cluster was initialized with CATALOG_VERSION_NO
200611051, but the server was compiled with CATALOG_VERSION_NO
200611241.
HINT: It looks like you need to initdb.

Let me install the beta3 RPMs again...

Regards,

Devrim,

does not read this list, I was expecting an initdb warning in RC1
announcement. I got this after installing 8.2 RC1 RPMs:

Hmmmm ... I thought that anyone using a beta knew that they would need to
initdb between each beta release. But it doesn't hurt to remind people,
you're right ...

b1 -> b2 -> b3 didn't need an initdb... so most probably don't expect b3 ->
rc1 to need an initdb if they didn't follow discussions in hackers.

Actually, it is a sort of a unwritten and sometimes-violated policy that
we _don't_ require initdb between betas. So letting them know when we
do would be "nice".
