BUG #16566: Consistently link latest repo RPM release to pgdg-redhat-repo-latest (ref #16074)

Hi,

There is only one rpm for a distro. That -11 repo rpm internal release number.

Maybe I should have bumped it to -42 as well.

So, this is not an issue.

Regards, Devrim

Description:

Hello,

CentOS 8/RHEL 8 repo RPM is still inconsistently linked for v12. This
was
reported back in October, bug #16074 for v11/RHEL 8. The issue now is
with
v12 and RHEL 8 and related to a recent update as I haven't seen this
for
some time.

rhel8/v11 (correct):
- pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
- pgdg-redhat-repo-42.0-11.noarch.rpm

rhel7/v12 (correct):
- pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
- pgdg-redhat-repo-42.0-11.noarch.rpm

rhel8/v12 (incorrect):
- MISSING
- pgdg-redhat-repo-42.0-11.noarch.rpm

All other combinations of PostgreSQL + RHEL have a "latest" RPM that is
linked to -11. It is an inconsistency with how the repo is laid out for
PostgreSQL v12 and RHEL 8.

I brought this issue up in November as well (#16074), which was
acknowledged and fixed.

All of the following repos *contain both*
pgdg-redhat-repo-42.0-11.noarch.rpm and pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm:

https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/10/redhat/rhel-8-x86_64/
https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/11/redhat/rhel-8-x86_64/
https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/10/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/
https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/11/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/
https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/12/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/

The following repo *does not* contain pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm:

https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/12/redhat/rhel-8-x86_64/

If pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm is no longer supported, then I can
update my code that looks for "pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm".
Based on the other locations having
"pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm", it seems like a bug to me.
