PostgreSQL RPM Set Update
2004-10-26
Version(s): 7.3.8, 7.4.6
New set labels: 7.3.8-2PGDG, 7.4.6-2PGDG
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Info:
Due to a security bug in RPM sets, new RPM sets for 7.4.6 and 7.3.8 have
been released. They are available in FTP site and synched mirrors. Due to
the seriousness of the bug, it is strongly recommended that administrators
upgrade their database servers at their earliest convenience.
Also, some minor changes have been applied to the spec files.
It should be noted that, for those looking to upgrade from a 7.4.0/7.4.1
server to 7.4.6, that there a dump-n-reload is *recommended* (but not
required) to address a fix introduced between 7.4.1 and 7.4.2. Please
refer to the 7.4.6 HISTORY file for information on how this can be
accomplished without a dump-n-reload, as there are steps that can be
followed for this.
7.4.6-2 set also includes RPMs for RHAS 2.1, thanks to Gaetano Mendola for
the effort.
These sets include RPMs and SRPMs for Fedora Core 1, Fedore Core 2, Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0, Red Hat Linux 9 and Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1.
md5sums are also provided with the packages.
