Thread: Anyone doing a 8.1.0-ia64-RHEL4-as.rpm ?

Hello,

Is anyone working on an 8.1.0 RPM for IA64 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
AS ?
On the web site :
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.1.1/linux/rpms/redhat/, I have
found a "rhel-as 4" version for RHEL4 but I don't think it is a version
for IA64.

Could someone explain me how generate this rpm ?

Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Alexandra DANTE

No. This morning I would do it but I could not find a gcc to compile
it :-)

See the "Rebuilding from Source RPM" section.

We'd be happy if you share the RPMs with us. We'd like to put ia-64 RPMs
to our FTP server.

I'm using CentOS 4.2 on a dual-opteron, but I'd guess it'd probably work for
IA64...

Try putting this somewhere in your /etc/yum.repos.d/...

#additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages
[centosplus]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/centosplus/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
includepkgs=postgresql* compat-postgresql-libs*
gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4

You'll need to import the RPM-GPG-KEY first, and make sure you backup your
postgres. Simply yum update from PG 7.x to 8.x will have some nasty surprises
without a dump/reload.

Then, use yum...
