Thread: Postgres 8.0 on RHEL

Postgres 8.0 on RHEL

From

I hope this is a valid question for this list.

 

I want to install PG 8.0 on a RHEL system.

I have been told our security policy says

that only packages provided by red hat can be installed.

 

Does anyone know how long until PG8.0 would

be available as a RHEL rpm?

This is pure speculation, but i'd have to guess years.  Redhat has not
traditionally changed the versions of any packages in their enterprise
product line once its been released.  So what you've got right now in
RHEL3 is what will remain.  RHEL4 is rumored to be coming out next
month, so I'd be very surprised if they would change the package
versioning at this stage, especially since I think they announced a
feature freeze quite a while ago.  This means you're waiting 2-3 years
for RHEL5.

If you want PG8 then your best hope is FC4 this May.

Whenever RHEL5 is released.

I believe some guys must have built PostgreSQL 8.0 RPMS for RHEL 3.0 ;)

Here it is:

http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.0/linux/rpms/redhat/rhel-es-3.0/

"But", there RPMs are not *supported* by Red Hat, as you've written.
