Thread: 7.1beta4 RPMs.
Unless Marc makes changes to the beta4 tarball, there will be beta4 RPM's for you to play with shortly. Actually, they are uploading now :-). ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/dev/test-rpms is the place..... If changes are made, I'll rebuild as soon as I find out (probably 18 hours or so from now). ----- RPM changes since beta3: 1.) /usr/share/postgresql, /etc/postgresql, and /usr/include/postgresql changed back to pgsql, to match /var/lib/pgsql (which is not at all likely to change). 2.) Now rebuilds without having to have the -devel rpm installed. :-0 3.) More documentation in html under the docdir (/usr/doc/postgresql-7.1beta4 on redhat 6.2). 4.) Regression test dirs now have right ownership. Still to be done: README.rpm-dist updates. Full upgrade testing. -lib split. -contrib subpackage. others that I have forgotten at this point in the night..... Regression may be run by installing at least the main package, the server subpackage, and the test subpackage. Then, start the postmaster (/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start), which will initdb if needed, su to postgres, cd to /usr/share/pgsql/test/regress, and execute: ./pg_regress --schedule=parallel_schedule RPMs passed regression (except for locale errors) on my RedHat 6.2 devel machine. I have changed the absolute minimum from beta3-2. Please let me know any problems you find! I am for now leaving the 7.1beta3-2 RPMset up. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11

One note: for whatever reason the date on the uploaded RPM's has the wrong year -- but the timestamp on my local copy has the correct date. In any case, ignore the datestamp on those RPM's -- there were _not_ built a year ago on Sat, January 29, 2000. But, they _are_ up for your RPM'ing pleasure. Please try to rebuild from source on whatever machine you have -- te more reports, the better the RPM. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11
