Thread: Any time estimates for 7.1.2 RPM's ?
Hi, Is there any plans for making RPM's for 7.1.2 ? I'm particularily interested in RPM's for RH 6.2 as I have only a few sites running RH 7.x and can do the usual configure-make-make install on these. ------------------ Hannu
If you are in a real big hurry - you can always look at RedHat's rawhide (the devel tree) and pick up those postgresql rpms. However, you need to pull the SRPM and compile for the proper release of of the system you are running. btw, the normal configure-make-makeinstall method doesn't work on RedHat 6.2? Weird ... works for me (tm).

It works for me too, just that I have quite many installations some of which don't even have a compiler installed. It does not work without gcc ;) ------------- Hannu

RedHat 6.2 is one of the systems I currently build on. My apologies to the whole group for my tardiness in this. Suffice to say that my week started busy and just got worse. Saturday morning I will have another air-shift here, and I'm _not_ planning any computer surgery this time! (argh for D-Link's DFE-530TX being incompatible with an ABit KT7A motherboard! Double ARGH for the ATA-100 data corruption it caused -- to 180GB of data (our broadcast music library on hard drive) AND another ARGH for VIA's ATA-100 bugs AND yet another for one cranky Maxtor 60GB drive.....). So I fully expect to release RPM's for 7.1.2 by noon Saturday. While the advice to pick up the Rawhide 7.1.2 source RPM is sound for a user of RedHat 7.x, unless you have updated to RPM 3.0.5 or greater on your 6.2 boxen you won't be able to install the source RPM from Rawhide, since it was written in RPM4 format. - -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7H5Pn5kGGI8vV9eERAjJmAKCXEnmz+cQ9XyQGrLc3SNAqxgRFKwCgme8i 36+rrwPFCYXZLeKYHFQKel0= =WwZP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Thanks for this info. I had just completed a --rebuild on RH 7.1 and planned to do the same on 6.2, but I guess I'd rather wait a few days. I have had bad experience upgrading rpm package a few times (the rpm database getting whacked and all subsequent installs claiming some packages to be missing) so I'd rather avoid upgrading unless I absolutely have to. ------------- Hannu

It does not work > without gcc ;) I've found that doing conf/make/make install on a dev system, and then copying the resulting /usr/local/pgsql tree to production systems, works fine. Not quite as clean as RPM, but quite usable--I was doing this with 7.1pre before 7.1 came out. Of course, your library versions and all that have to match reasonably closely... -Doug -- The rain man gave me two cures; he said jump right in, The first was Texas medicine--the second was just railroad gin, And like a fool I mixed them, and it strangled up my mind, Now people just get uglier, and I got no sense of time... --Dylan

Note that most 6.2 systems already have a new version, as both 3.0.5 and 4.0.2 have been released at erratas at different times. -- Trond Eivind Glomsrød Red Hat, Inc.

Well,the upgrade to 3.0.5 isn't a problem. Personally, I won't upgrade my 6.2 box to RPM4 -- but that is a personal choice having a lot to do with the RPM release of PostgreSQL built on this machine. Upgrading to 3.0.5 should be completely painless. You do need the new 'rpm-build' package, though, or you won't be able to rebuild. - -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7H6Bi5kGGI8vV9eERAveXAJ9gmYsSYas4/CGVucJdl+BYEKEUjACeOCNW 47lMVY1Hjv5SFW0tp4MMBqg= =kTbh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
But beforwarned that if you build the package on rpm 3.0.5, the machines with previous versions of RPM will not be able to install that RPM. So you will have to upgrade all of your machines (and also install a couple of libraries, ie. popt and something else or the other). (correct me if I'm wrong here...) -rchit -----Original Message----- From: Lamar Owen [mailto:lamar.owen@wgcr.org] Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2001 8:40 AM To: Hannu Krosing Cc: pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org Subject: Re: [HACKERS] Any time estimates for 7.1.2 RPM's ? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On Thursday 07 June 2001 11:24, Hannu Krosing wrote: > I have had bad experience upgrading rpm package a few times (the rpm > database > getting whacked and all subsequent installs claiming some packages to be > missing) > so I'd rather avoid upgrading unless I absolutely have to.
