is there a mail archive I can look at for the discussion around:
* Tue Feb 03 2015 Devrim Gündüz <devrim@gunduz.org> - 9.4.1-1PGDG - Update to 9.4.1, per changes described at: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/release-9-4-1.html - Improve .bash_profile, and let users specify their own environmental settings by sourcing an external file, called ~/.pgsql_profile. Per request from various users, and final suggestion from Martin Gudmundsson.
i'm trying to understand more about this change since it, seems to have unpleasant results during a yum update when there are multiple server versions installed on a machine at the same time.
that it wiped out the ~postgres/.bash_profile that existed too, which caught some of my peers by surprise.
I realize this was 'a long time' and they should have raised the concern sooner but i'm just trying to educate myself on it some more first.
