On the RH 7.0 CD's. I don't yet have a build box running RH 7.0 (my 7.0
box is this notebook, and its running a version of RH 7 that doesn't
exist -- waiting on a set of CD's to get the official RH 7 set to build
on).
Of course, you will want to do a full dump before upgrading.....
Particularly so if you are going from RH 6.0 (which shipped with
PostgreSQL 6.4.2) to RH 7.0 (7.0.2). Hopefully you have already
upgraded to 7.0.2 on RH 6.0.....

I'd assume the Redhat site. At the top they have a link named download.
Clcik that and type postgresql. Click Search. It comes back with the RPMs.

You can of course find it on the ftp site as well, in the RPMS directory.

If you downloaded the RedHat CD ISO images, OR the ftp dirs, you got the
postgresql RPM's, unless you specifically excluded them.
And you can certainly get them from RedHat's ftp site, as busy as it is.

Yeah I know. I mentioned the redhat website when I first replied to the
post.
Which leads me to a question. Why do so many people ask the list where the
most current RPMS for Redhat are located? Not trying to start trouble, but
doesn't it seem obvious to check the Redhat site? Just wierd that so many
people ask where to find them...

Well, we maintain RPM's ourselves (or should I say, I maintain RPM's
myself) -- but due to the lack of a RedHat 7 machine for me to build on
(at this time) the best place to get RedHat 7 RPM's is with RedHat 7.
I just announced the newest set -- there will be more announcements
later this week or early next week as I build binaries on other
architectures (I'm even working on building Hercules so I can
build/rebuild for S/390 on my Intel box -- Hercules is an ESA/390
emulator -- slow as Christmas, but will run Linux/390 well enough to
build/rebuild RPM's. My goal is posting working S/390 binaries on
ftp.postgresql.org -- the coolness factor alone is worth the work) and
other distributions (such as TurboLinux, Caldera eServer, and SuSE --
although SuSE has a 7.0.2 RPMset of their own that is substantially
different from ours, even though it is based on ours).
Unless someone want to offer me a shell and build privileges on a
Linux/390 VM on their real S/390 :-).
In fact, I'm requesting that people running something other than RedHat
6.2 on Intel try to --rebuild the src.rpm I just posted so that I can
get binaries for multiple architectures. If you need to patch the spec
file or whatever else to get it to run, send the patches my way so we
can make it just a simple --rebuild for most folks.

from the fact that upgrading from RH6.0 to RH7.0, 7.0
complained (during boot) that my Postgress verision was outdated
I need to upgrade. This threw me off.
In general I am pretty pissed at RH attitude to system
upgrade, if I were working in a Production environment,
I would either hire them and not try anything myself,
which kinda contradicts the whole Linux philosophy.

Sorry, only have an As/400 here, and I doubt think they'll let me play with

Yeah, the init script that they provide checks what's in PG_VERSION, and
tells you to upgrade. The bad side is that it may have already overwritten
your old binaries, etc., making it difficult to do a dump. You'd have to
reinstall the old one, do the dump, then upgrade PostgreSQL, and then
reinsert.
Hopefully, their upgrade system was smart enough to not blindly overwrite
your old PostgreSQL installation. If it did blindy overwrite it, then it's
a very poorly written "upgrade", even Microsoft does better than that in a
lot of situations. It would give further validation to my refusal to ever
use RedHat's upgrade procedure.
This isn't to say that RedHat is the devil. Just that like all *nix
varieties, it has it's own behavioural deficiencies that need to be
recognized and worked around. If there was a *nix that didn't have
deficiencies, then all of the other varieties would quickly go away.
In general I am pretty pissed at RH attitude to system
upgrade, if I were working in a Production environment,
I would either hire them and not try anything myself,
which kinda contradicts the whole Linux philosophy.
Well, it certainly doesn't contradict the RedHat philosophy of "Give them
the product for free, then charge for support." ; )
Exactly my point. My next Linux server that I build is going
to be SUSE, atleast some guys are not in a hurry to go public.

These are actually backed up during the installation, thanks to
Lamar's changes.

Trond's response indicates that all may not be as bad as we first
thought. Good work, Lamar.

It also relates back to a post I made many moons ago. I don't upgrade any
OS (outside of minor patches). If it is a new OS version, backup and then
clean install. Just too many variables to contend with to trust a type of
upgrade script.

I wouldn't say ditch out on Redhat because of Postgres upgrades. As was
mentioned on the list before, there is no current silver bullet upgrade for
postgres. Dump, install new version, import old data. I would assume then
that means SUSE would be no better on that regard either.
Also, any bad experiences I have had with Redhat are not with Redhat
themselves, per se. Mainly with RPMs. They really just don't mix well with
applications you compile... OK, and maybe the occasional wierd directory
structure that goes on, but other than that, I still choose them over other
distributions.

pgsql-ports for PostgreSQL related stuff. I will announce soon some
exciting news related to the RPM's, as well as a dedicated
'postgresqlrpms' mailing list, and the RPM spec files, patches, etc,
under a public CVS server.
