After a long day out of the office for my day job, I'm going ahead and
announcing the release of the 7.0.3-1 RPMset for PostgreSQL, which were
completed and passed regression testing yesterday.
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/binary/v7.0.3/RPMS/*
Binary RPM's are currently available for i386 and PowerPC.
Distributions supported are RedHat 6.x, RedHat 7.0, TurboLinux 6.0.4,
SuSE 7.0, SuSE 6.4, Caldera OpenLinux eServer 2.3 (NOT eDesktop 2.4 --
there are differences!), and LinuxPPC-2000. Source RPMS for
RedHat-style systems are in SRPMS, SuSE-style source RPMS are in
SuSE-7.0, and Caldera source RPMS (works on most older RPM versions --
pre-3.0 RPM considered old) in OpenLinux-eServer-2.3.
Many thanks to Great Bridge for making possible multi-distribution
binary builds using their build farm, otherwise we would only have
RedHat-6.x and LinuxPPC-2000 (courtesy of Tom Lane).
Once the RPM's are downloaded, please read the changelog to see what has
changed (rpm -qp --changelog postgresql-7.0.3-1.i386.rpm as an example),
then install as usual.
Several bugs in the older RPM dist have been fixed, most notably an
embarrassing dependency bug that required the -devel subpackage to be
installed for anything to work. See the changelog for other bugfixes,
and the included README.rpm-dist text file for further RPM-specific
documentation.
Currently this RPMset doesn't build on ia64 -- work is in progress to
correct that issue, as well as to provide more binaries.
