Latest packages for Xenial

From

Hello!

I note on the Ubuntu install page (https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/) that:

The PostgreSQL Apt Repository supports the current LTS versions of Ubuntu:

20.04
18.04
16.04

But the most recent release (https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/postgresql-134-128-1113-1018-9623-and-14-beta-3-released-2277/) did not get packages built for 16.04 xenial. 

Is the information out-of-date or was there on oversight with the latest builds?

Thanks!

Hi,

the web page is out of date, xenial is EOL from the Ubuntu side as
well.

The correct list would be (Debian is also outdated):

Debian 9 (stretch), 10 (buster), 11 (bullseye), and unstable (sid)
Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic), 20.04 (focal), 21.04 (hirsute, amd64 only), 21.10 (impish, amd64 only)

Hi Justin,

Ubuntu 16.04 End-of-life date was April 30, 2021.

Maybe that can be the reason why new packages are not created for said distro.

Best,
Hanefi

Hello!

I note on the Ubuntu install page (https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/) that:

The PostgreSQL Apt Repository supports the current LTS versions of Ubuntu:

20.04
18.04
16.04

But the most recent release (https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/postgresql-134-128-1113-1018-9623-and-14-beta-3-released-2277/) did not get packages built for 16.04 xenial. 

Is the information out-of-date or was there on oversight with the latest builds?

Thanks!

Can you provide an update to what it should actually be? Either as a
patch, or just as an explicit text of what it should be and I'll be
happy to turn that into a patch.
