Thread: 9.6 Beta2 /etc/init.d script setting PGDATA to 9.5 location

Hi,

 

I installed 9.6 beta2 with the following repo -  pgdg-centos96-9.6-1.noarch.rpm

 

The init script is still referencing 9.5 in couple of places, including PGDATA (see below).  I bumped into this when trying to do an initdb with the script on a system with 9.5 on it (which obviously failed)

 

grep 9.5 /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.6

# PGVERSION is the full package version, e.g., 9.5.0

# PGMAJORVERSION is major version, e.g., 9.5 (this should match PG_VERSION)

PGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql/9.5/data

PGLOG=/var/lib/pgsql/9.5/pgstartup.log

Thanks for the bug report! Will get this fixed up.
