looking for old rpm

From

Hi,

I'm looking for old postgres rpm, like
postgresql93-server-9.3.6-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm

(one of our software is "certified" with this minor version ...)

Thanks in advance
Etienne

We don't keep those RPMS, but you can build the RPMs by yourself.

ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v9.3.6/

are the sources, and

-Build-Your-Own-PostgreSQL-and-related-software-RPMs-on
-CentOSRHELFedora.html

is the guide.

I cringe when I see requirements like this.     did they also 'certify'
this applicaiton to only run on whatever was the day's snapshot build of
the OS, such that any newer security updates and bug fixes can't be
applied to RHEL 6 ?

specific to 9.3.6, you'd be missing out on the fixes ...

​We have a few products like that here. One of our Windows servers is "stabilized" in that it cannot be patched or upgraded because a single piece of critical software is running on it which is not only certified only on that particular release / patch, but actually fails on more up to date servers. In addition, it is "abandon-ware"​ in that that original company is defunct. Oh, and it cannot be replaced because that part of the business is being eliminated, so this is only for "historical" clients, who will be gone by the end of this year. At least, in that, we do have a hard time limit and then the software / machine will be junked.

The above may be why, at least historically, businesses have like Windows. With Windows there is "one true way". _Their_ way. I would say more, but that would become too political.

Yes they do :), they certify centos 6.5 stock, without updates \o/
We are going to update, just when we call the support we will have to prove that it's there app that is buggy, not all the (minor) updates ...

Having old rpm can also be useful to build new dev env in sync with production env (when you update slowly)
