Thread: postgresql version on RH workstation 4.0

postgresql version on RH workstation 4.0

FYI,  Seems there might be some confusion on the part of Red Hat.
Checking the 4.0 channel on the Red Hat Network for the version of
Postgresql that comes on 4.0 I see:

postgresql-7.4.7-2.RHEL4.1

Whereas, on the iso I downloaded I find:

postgresql-7.4.6-1.RHEL4.2

Not what's going on there, I'd appreciate hearing anyone who might have
some insights...

Its called up2date.  postgresql-7.4.7-2.RHEL4.1 was released by RH
yesterday morning to address the LOAD exploit.  Obviously the RHW-4
ISOs were created before that happened, hence the older version.

I thought that might be a possibility, but I (incorrectly) expected the
listing to show what was on the disk.

Thanks.

or even more specifically, day-zero security errata.  The CD masters for
RHEL4 were frozen several weeks ago, so there's been plenty of time for
security errata to fill the RHN pipeline.  I believe there were a couple
dozen packages besides postgresql with such errata.
