Обсуждение: Short notice, but ...
I'm going to shut down and upgrade the VM that www.postgresql.org is on this weekend, to deal with several issues (namely, to clean up a mess that is affecting Alexey's work) ... The downtime should take <5 minutes, as it is merely a matter of unmounted one template and mounting the newer one ... and, to date, the only issues we've experience with clients that we've done this for have been email related, so we don't anticipate any problems, but ... just wanted ppl to be aware ... Robert, if you happen to be around today/this evening, I can do it up today and get it out of the way, just want to make sure that at least someone acknowledges/reads this before I do it, that's all ... ---- Marc G.
