Hi,
 
I installed 9.6 beta2 with the following repo -  pgdg-centos96-9.6-1.noarch.rpm
 
The init script is still referencing 9.5 in couple of places, including PGDATA (see below).  I bumped into this when trying to do an initdb with the script on a system with 9.5 on it (which obviously failed)
 
grep 9.5 /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.6
# PGVERSION is the full package version, e.g., 9.5.0
# PGMAJORVERSION is major version, e.g., 9.5 (this should match PG_VERSION)
PGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql/9.5/data
PGLOG=/var/lib/pgsql/9.5/pgstartup.log

Thanks for the bug report! Will get this fixed up.
