Thread: 8.4 rpm packaging problem?
Two problems installing the postgresql doc package,,, I just tried to install the 8.4 postgresql-docs and postgresql-contrib packages from the pgdg84 Fedora-11 yum repository and yum tried to install postresql-docs-8.4rc1 (rather than 8.4.0) from the pgdg repo. The exact sequence of events was to install postresql-8.3.7 from Fedora's repo, download and install the pgdg84 repo rpm, do a yum upgrade to postgresql to 8.4.0 from the pgdg repo (this worked fine), and then do "yum install postgresql-docs postgresql-contrib". Is the pgdg84 yum repo messed up? Or did I do something wrong? I'm not very knowledgeable about yum. Second, after getting the postgresql-docs package installed by just downloading and installing the right rpm, I notice the FAQ subdirectory contains the FAQ in many languages, but not english. Intentional?

Fixed it now. The reason was that I am using two separate servers to build Fedora 10 and 11 packages. One of them tags packages with fc11, the other one tags with f11-- and yum picks up f11. In your case, f11 ones were messed up, and yum failed over to rc packages. > Second, after getting the postgresql-docs package > installed by just downloading and installing the > right rpm, I notice the FAQ subdirectory contains > the FAQ in many languages, but not english. > Intentional? English FAQ moved to wiki -- it is not even in 8.4.0 tarball. That's why RPM's don't ship it.

Huh, but the tarball does not contain the FAQs in other languages either. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support

Hmm, this is strange -- the directory is not there in CVS ... /me checks CVS history Oh, I see -- the files were removed after the release of 8.4.0 apparently :-( -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support
