Thread: FW: SUSE repositories not longer available
I have been told that it might be a better place to ask that question, I will also add that when installing on SUSE 15 SP 4 it attempts to access the repository: https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/zypp/15/suse/sles-15.4-x86_6, and it happens similarly on all versions of PostgreSQL repositories.
PostgreSQL 16 repository for SUSE 12 SP 5 is not mentioned at all at the updated howto: https://zypp.postgresql.org/howtozypp/.

Subject: SUSE repositories not longer available
I have noticed since the changes on the 27th this month (https://people.planetpostgresql.org/devrim/index.php?/archives/122-Installing-PostgreSQL-on-SLES-15-just-got-easier-and-better!.html) that some repositories are no longer available.
I specifically noticed it with all SuSE 15.4 repositories, and PostgreSQL 16 for SuSE 12.5 repository (also had new dependency problem on PostgreSQL 14+15 for SuSE 12.5, might be unrelated).
To be clear, SuSE 12.5 and 15.4 are currently at LTSS phase.
I haven’t found any message regarding PostgreSQL dropping support for SuSE 12.5 and 15.4, so I wanted to make sure whether it was dropped intentionally or not.
If it’s not planned to add these repositories back, I will appreciate if there is an archive with these packages available somewhere.
Thanks,
Or

Yes, I removed all of the 15.4 (and older) from the repos this week intentionally. Per these news: https://zypp.postgresql.org/news/pgdg-zypp-repo-gpg-key-update/ and https://people.planetpostgresql.org/devrim/index.php?/archives/122-Installing-PostgreSQL-on-SLES-15-just-got-easier-and-better!.html I had to clean up everything old and start a new one, as the previous repo layout was extremely messy, taking a lot of disk space than we actually needed and it would take a lot of resources to install SP4 from scratch, and rebuild packages on that one (and the dependencies would be more messy) OTOH, SLES 15 SP5 will be a new starting point, and I'll keep that directory longer as compared to the previous versions. I also removed SLES 12 SP4 and older for a different reason. Only SLES 12 SP 5 is there now for SLES 12. > PostgreSQL 16 repository for SUSE 12 SP 5 is not mentioned at all at > the updated howto: https://zypp.postgresql.org/howtozypp/. See this: https://zypp.postgresql.org/news/sles12-postgresql-rpms-end-of-life/ I already EOLed PostgreSQL 16 on SLES 12 (and RHEL 7 for the same reason) Regards, -- Devrim Gündüz Open Source Solution Architect, PostgreSQL Major Contributor Twitter: @DevrimGunduz , @DevrimGunduzTR
