New shapshot RPMs (Mar 27, 2009) are ready for testing

From
Devrim GÜNDÜZ
Date:
As we are moving very close to 8.4 beta, please join us for testing 8.4
release.

I just released new RPM sets, which is based on Mar 27 CVS snapshot.
Please note that these packages are **not** production ready. They are
for Fedora 9,10 and RHEL/CentOS 5. I have no intention to push 8.4
development packages for older Fedora/RHEL/CentOS releases, and also
currently I do not provide (Open)SuSE packages.

I think these will be the last set of packages before beta 1.

These packages *do* require a dump/reload, even from previous 8.4
packages, because of a catversion update. These packages also includes
an up2date PDF documentation.

We have more than 500 testers using these sets. We need more people to
discover any bugs in 8.4 development version.

As usual, please find detailed info from:

http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org

A mini howto about 8.4devel release + RPMs is here:

http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/news-8.4devel-ready-for-testing.php

The tarball I used is here:

http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/srpms/8.4

(I will remove tarballs after a few weeks...)

Please report any packaging related errors to me. If you find any
PostgreSQL 8.4 bugs, please post them to pgsql-bugs@PostgreSQL.org or
fill out this form:

http://www.postgresql.org/support/submitbug

EnterpriseDB used to provide 8.4 "builds" for Windows, but the page I bookmarked does not longer work.

Does anybody know if EnterpriseDB stopped this service?

No - in fact we refreshed the builds just a few days ago:
http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/pgdevdownload.do. There are also
installers for Mac and Linux 32/64.

FYI, all the known development builds are listed at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/snapshots

OK, thanks. I received very strange error messages last week when I accessed that page. (Velocity Template not found
andsimilar errors). But now it's working. 

Thanks!

Yeah, we had a big website update and that page got messed up along
the way somehow. Sorry 'bout that.

No problem.
