Thread: 9.5 repo question
Hi all,
I'm wanting to test the most recent version of postgresql, so I went to yum.postgresql.org and started looking in the repo for stuff to download. Nearly every component there has 3 rpms, a rc1 copy in addition to a 1 and 2 rpm. My question is, do I need the rc1 rpm in addition to the 1 & 2 rpm's? Or which ones do I need exactly for each component? I've done a little digging on the site, and I didn't really find any guidance.
Thanks in advance,
Jay

You want the ones that are 9.5.0-<latest>. So, in the RHEL6/x86_64 repo, that is:
9.5.0-2PGDG.rhel6
If you let yum do the work for you, then after installing the appropriate repo RPM you can just: yum install postgresql95 and it’ll download and install the latest for you.
Hope that helps.
So, then don't bother with the rc1 rpms? Oh, and I can't use yum here to download due to configuration issues, although I do use it for the actual install.

Umm... new problem. I first installed both postgresql95-libs-9.5.0-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm and the libs-2PGDG rpm. I then tried installing postgresql-9.5.0-1PGDG.rhel.x86_64.rpm, but yum complains that libs-1PGDG is not installed. I ran "yum list postgresql95-libs" and, sure enough, it is reporting that only libs-2PGDG.rhel is installed for the postgresql95-libs.x86_64 package. I've tried getting around the problem by --skip-broken, but that didn't work either, nor did the other yum suggestion to use -Va --nofiles --nodigest. I also tried to reinstall libs-1PGDG, but that fails as well.
Any suggestions as to how to get everything installed?

Thanks, I'll try that tomorrow morning, when I get back to the office.

We do already have a local repo, but only packages that have been approved by our security team get included. They haven't validated the latest postgresql yet, that's actually what I'm trying to assist them with.

Well, you could use a local repo, mirroring yum.postgresql.org if you
have internet restrictions.
