Any time estimates for 7.1.2 RPM's ?

I'm particularily interested in RPM's for RH 6.2 as I have
only a few sites running RH 7.x and can do the usual
configure-make-make install on these.

We already have 7.1.2 RPM's for Conectiva Linux
(snapshot.conectiva.com for more details), and you can apt-get them
(if you are using Conectiva, that is).

The only drawback of this packages is that they have pltcl and plperl
flagged off.

If you are in a real big hurry - you can always look at RedHat's
rawhide (the devel tree) and pick up those postgresql rpms. However, you
need to pull the SRPM and compile for the proper release of of the system
you are running.

btw, the normal configure-make-makeinstall method doesn't work on RedHat
6.2? Weird ... works for me (tm).

Thanks! downloading it now.

It works for me too, just that I have quite many installations some of
which
don't even have a compiler installed. It does not work without gcc ;)

Yes. But the best-laid plans of mice and men.....

RedHat 6.2 is one of the systems I currently build on.

My apologies to the whole group for my tardiness in this. Suffice to say
that my week started busy and just got worse.

Saturday morning I will have another air-shift here, and I'm _not_ planning
any computer surgery this time! (argh for D-Link's DFE-530TX being
incompatible with an ABit KT7A motherboard! Double ARGH for the ATA-100 data
corruption it caused -- to 180GB of data (our broadcast music library on hard
drive) AND another ARGH for VIA's ATA-100 bugs AND yet another for one
cranky Maxtor 60GB drive.....). So I fully expect to release RPM's for 7.1.2
by noon Saturday.

While the advice to pick up the Rawhide 7.1.2 source RPM is sound for a user
of RedHat 7.x, unless you have updated to RPM 3.0.5 or greater on your 6.2
boxen you won't be able to install the source RPM from Rawhide, since it was
written in RPM4 format.

I'm glad I'mnot the only one who does that on database servers :-)

I've found that doing conf/make/make install on a dev system, and then
copying the resulting /usr/local/pgsql tree to production systems,
works fine. Not quite as clean as RPM, but quite usable--I was doing
this with 7.1pre before 7.1 came out. Of course, your library
versions and all that have to match reasonably closely...

That would be great

Thanks for this info. I had just completed a --rebuild on RH 7.1 and
planned to
do the same on 6.2, but I guess I'd rather wait a few days.

I have had bad experience upgrading rpm package a few times (the rpm
database
getting whacked and all subsequent installs claiming some packages to be
missing)
so I'd rather avoid upgrading unless I absolutely have to.

Note that most 6.2 systems already have a new version, as both 3.0.5
and 4.0.2 have been released at erratas at different times.

Well,the upgrade to 3.0.5 isn't a problem. Personally, I won't upgrade my
6.2 box to RPM4 -- but that is a personal choice having a lot to do with the
RPM release of PostgreSQL built on this machine.

Upgrading to 3.0.5 should be completely painless. You do need the new
'rpm-build' package, though, or you won't be able to rebuild.

But beforwarned that if you build the package on rpm 3.0.5, the machines
with previous versions of RPM will not be able to install that RPM. So you
will have to upgrade all of your machines (and also install a couple of
libraries, ie. popt and something else or the other). (correct me if I'm
wrong here...)
