Hi!

Where can I find the required patch to upgrade 6.4.1 to 6.4.2 ?

There is no patch for this...we've tried in the past to create "clean"
patches, and each time so problem arose from it...

In the case of v6.4.1 -> v6.4.2, its even worse, since the reason that
v6.4.2 was released was because v6.4.1 was a mis-package...I erroneously
packaged up our -CURRENT source tree (ie. v6.5) instead of v6.4 :(

Hi there!

Does that mean that I am running 6.5 (I installed 6.4.1 -I think, see PS).

Currently it seems to be running fine and dandy... is the s**t going to hit
the fan?

Also, I have a few databases running. If it is necessary for me to upgrade
(downgrade? :) ) to 6.4.2, will pg_dump etc. work to carry them over?

cheers,

Stuart.

PS. How can I double check what version of pg I have installed? there
appears to be no such thing as psql -version (or equivalent). Looking at
PG_VERSION says 6.4. Could I -in fact- just have pg 6.4 installed or is
PG_VERSION the same for 6.4 and 6.4.1?

Check your HISTORY file. If it mentions 6.4.1, you are fine. If not,
you are in trouble.

Also, I have a few databases running. If it is necessary for me to upgrade
(downgrade? :) ) to 6.4.2, will pg_dump etc. work to carry them over?

I forgot to upgrade version() for 6.4.1. 6.4.2 has this fixed.

You make jokes ?
Nearly any Open Source developer has managed that. Where's the problem ?

tar -xfz postgres-VERS1.tar.gz
tar -xfz postgres-VERS2.tar.gz
diff -u --recursive --new-file postgres-VERS1 postgres-VERS2

That's all
