Sure, I will respond in kind to each that you provide, answers provided
inline.
Bruce stated:
Then, once there, you see:
Letter PPackages beginning with letter "P". * pgdg-centos - PostgreSQL 9.0.X PGDG RPMs for CentOS - Yum Repository
Configuration * pgdg-fedora - PostgreSQL 9.0.X PGDG RPMs for Fedora - Yum Repository Configuration * pgdg-redhat -
PostgreSQL9.0.X PGDG RPMs for RHEL - Yum Repository Configuration
What kind of title is "Letter P"? And all these downloads are marked as
9.0.X.
JD: This is how YUM does it. I told you this.
Back on the Yum download page there is a "Direct Download" section,
which points to:
https://public.commandprompt.com/projects/pgcore/wiki/Direct_download
which shows:
8.4 - New release. Test before you upgrade.
Which obviously is inaccurate because 8.4 has been out for many months now.
JD: Which is completely accurate. 8.4 is the new release and you should
test before you upgrade.
JD: Anything else you would like to bring up based on your "poor
experience"?
JD Disclaimer: I just made some changes to the wiki pages to reflect the
EOL status of 7.4/8.0/8.1. I also made a separate page for configuring
Yum since it appears part of the complaints is that it isn't newbie
friendly enough.
I may not always respond to emails that aren't on the top of my radar.
Others have realized that there are much better ways to get a hold of
me. Like private messaging on IRC (which you have done with better
results than email) or for goodness sake, calling me.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
