Alright now I am not following, in your original post you said:

"Hi I am trying to use certain features of Asp.net 5 using postgresql using
EF6."

and

"So I would have thought as an interim measure until EF7 is ready which will
be quite some time to come, it should be possible to connect to postgresql
using EF6. "

So why are you using the EF7 files?
