Thread: 7.3.3, Fedora Core 5, test geometry and test horology
Hi, everybody !
First of all: Any help would be appreciated !!!
Yes, i know, we are using a jurassic version of postgresql and we
should try to upgrade first, but that is the next step. Now we've to
make sure that 7.3.3 will work with FC5.
The problem: We are changing the S.O. of our server from Fedora Core 2
to Fedora Core 5. A few years ago, we've changed from Red Hat 9 to
Fedora Core 2 and everything have worked just fine. But now, when we run
"gmake check", two test are failing:
test geometry ... FAILED
test horology ... FAILED
Looking at src/test/regress/regression.diffs, for horology test, there
are few differences, like :
== expected ==
Wed Mar 15 02:14:05 2034 PST
== result ==
Wed Mar 15 02:14:05 2034 PDT
Is it safe to ignore this differences ?
For geometry test, there are bigger differences, like:
== expected ==
(71.7106781186548,72.7106781186548),(-69.7106781186548,-68.7106781186548)
== result ==
(71.7106781186547,72.7106781186547),(-69.7106781186547,-68.7106781186547)
Can i safely to install and to use postgresql 7.3.3 ?
Thanks in advance !!!

If you're going with something in the (as you point out, Jurassic) 7.3.x series, you need to make sure that 7.3.15 is running, as all previous versions have known security and/or data loss bugs.

Yup. The particular errors you mention are harmless (eg, the 7.3
regression tests are unaware of the recent changes in US DST laws)
but it'd be foolish not to be using the latest 7.3.x release.
