Обсуждение: ubuntu packages for 8.4
I don't see any ubuntu packages for 8.4 in the default repositories. Does anybody know if they will be upgrading the postgresql package to 8.4 or creating a new package for it. I'd rather use the packages than to compile it myself. If anybody has an argument as to why I should compile it I am all ears. TIA.

Does anybody know if they will be upgrading the postgresql package to
8.4 or creating a new package for it.
I'd rather use the packages than to compile it myself. If anybody has
an argument as to why I should compile it I am all ears.
I just forwarded your message to Martin Pitt, he's the package maintain for Postgres for Ubuntu (and Debian, I believe). I don't know if this is planned for Karmic Koala (to be released in October).

I found it in lenny backports, but I haven't tried it yet. http://packages.debian.org/lenny-backports/postgresql-8.4

The postgresql-8.4 packages arrived in 9.10 (Karmic) about two hours ago. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postgresql-8.4 Assuming you are not running the 9.10 prerelease, you may want to request a backport to whatever Ubuntu release you are running - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackport. This should be no drama. Major postgresql releases always get a new package. This allows you to have multiple major versions installed and running simultaneously. -- Stuart Bishop <stuart@stuartbishop.net> http://www.stuartbishop.net/

As 8.4 is not data-compatible with 8.3, it will be a new package. if ubuntu are usiung pg-wrapper (like debian does) you will be able to install both at the same time using the normal package manager. > I'd rather use the packages than to compile it myself.
