BUG #18366: Not present at postgresql.org YUM repository

PG Bug reporting form <noreply@postgresql.org> writes:

Documentation says that PostgreSQL 16 is available for RHEL7, but the
repository does not have it.
Latest one is 15.

Whatever documentation you are looking at is wrong:

https://yum.postgresql.org/news/rhel7-postgresql-rpms-end-of-life/

So where did you see that claim?

regards, tom lane

Thanks for the EOL pointer, Tom,

On page:
https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/

The selection set allows:

1. Version: 16
2. Platform: RHEL, CentOS, ... 7
3. Architecture: x86_64

and it gives "yum install -y postgresql16-server"
which then does not work.

The RHEL7 is rather old, but it isn't quite yet EOL - it will be on 30 June 2024.

Thanks,
Matti Aarnio
