Thread: Pokey Fedora Updates for Postgresql?

Pokey Fedora Updates for Postgresql?

From
Jerry Levan
Date:
I guess I am feeling a bit cranky today :(…

Seems like Postgresql 9.1.2 has been out for a while but it has
not appeared in the updates for Fedora 16.

Today I cruised koji.fedoraproject.org and noticed that a
set of rpms appear to been built by , ummm, 'tgl' back in
early January.

Does anyone know how to kickstart the process of getting
the latest version pushed out to the repos?

Thanks,

Jerry

( Yes I know about Devrim's repository..)

Sorry, they do not appear in *my* 'yum update' or yumex or the software update program.

I have been getting regular updates for many packages. ( I check daily ).

I have the 9.1.1 rpms installed…

I guess there is a problem on my end, tain't clear to me what the problem could be…

I must be holding it wrong...

Huh.  Something broken on your end, but what?  The only thing that looks
funny to me in your output is

> [jerry@bigbox ~]$ yum check-update

                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That's not a standard plugin (leastwise I don't see it when I run yum)
so I'm wondering if it's pointing you to a dysfunctional mirror.  Try
disabling it.

FWIW, as of today I see this on my F16 machine:

[tgl@rh3 ~]$ sudo yum check-update
Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit

updates-debuginfo/primary_db                             | 391 kB     00:00

The fact that your "updates/primary_db" is smaller than mine seems
pretty suspicious.  I wonder whether you've been seeing any Fedora
updates at all lately?  Maybe everything you've updated has been coming
from those non-Fedora repos.

Sigh, "Whenever the unlikely solutions are rejected then all that are left are the probable."

In fedora 15 I had been using Devrim's repo and had 'excluded' postgresql in the fedora
and fedora update repositories.

When fedora 16 came out I removed the exclusion from the fedora repo but NOT the update repo.
(and I disabled the pgdg repo).

Sorry for all the noise…
