Thread: Missing old version of RepMgr?

Missing old version of RepMgr?

From
Greg Clough
Date:
Hi,

I wanted to install an older version of RepMgr v4.2 to match our standard build (v4.3 isn't validated yet for us), but
itdoesn't seem to be in the repo.  Am I doing something wrong?  Shouldn't we keep a few older versions, just like we do
forPostgreSQL patch versions? 

Also, I just noticed that RepMgr v4.4 was released today, so that will probably push out v4.3 from the repo when it's
loaded. Instead of that, can we include v4.2, v4.3, and v4.4.... maybe v4.1? 

Thanks.
Greg.

Right, we stopped deleting old packages at some point. However, it looks like
4.2 was released before we did that.

4.3 is the min version which will be available in the repos.
