I haven't run Debian for ten years, when I had a headless old PC running with
a LAMP stack. Since I discovered Gentoo, that has been my preferred distro.
However, I'm currently in the process of setting up a dedicated Web server
with Debian as it may one day be another person's responsibility to admin this
box, and I would consider it cruel to leave a Gentoo box to anyone but the
most devoted Linux fans.
My current gripe is this: The «stable» version of Postgres on Debian is 8.4.
In order to install 9.1, I added this line to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
Then I did an apt-get update and
apt-get install postgresql-9.1 postgresql-client-9.1
Finally I commented out the added line of /etc/apt/sources.list.
This seems a rather roundabout way, is there a better one?
regards, Leif
