Обсуждение: Amazon Linux Support?
Hi Guys, With the repo changes associated with the April 17 changes, https://pgstef.github.io/2019/04/17/one_rpm_to_rule_them_all.html It is evident that support for amazon linux has been dropped. While you can try to use redhat pgdp packages, they are not installable on Amazon Linux, giving the following error... /etc/redhat-release is needed by pgdg-redhat-repo-42.0-4.noarch I confident that the rest rpms available in the repo can be used by Amazon linux, but the redhat-release dependency is painful for automation with existing recipes such as postgresql in chef. Before I invest the effort to produce a pull request to address this, I wanted to confirm that amazon linux has been dropped and will no longer, nor likely ever be supported for the rpms repo's, or is it still on the road map?

You will need a community account to see the issue: https://redmine.postgresql.org/issues/4205 The relevant part: Updated by Devrim Gündüz 4 days ago " Hi, We dropped Amazon Linux support years ago, there were lots of compatibility issues. The new repo RPMs just reflect that. Please switch to a supported distro, or rebuild RPMs from SRPMS.

I would say not. Pretty sure the notice you got is about: https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/ Version Current minor Supported First Release Final Release 9.3 9.3.25 No September 9, 2013 November 8, 2018 In other words about Postgres 9.3 being past EOL as of past November. What the OP was referring to was Amazon's version of Linux: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/amazon-linux-ami-basics.html which is based off RH. The community RH repos no longer support that distro. > -- > Mike Nolan -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@aklaver.com

Thanks Jeremy, I tried using the --nodeps but hit problems when trying to use the repo, such gpg signatures etc. It's more the fact that you can't add repo's for packages that are pretty well compatible, where I figured the effort would be reasonably small. Thanks for the sed tip, I'll see how I fare with that and work with a vendored chef recipe for now.
