Cannot find v18 Beta 1 RPMs for Fedora 42

Thanks for providing the packages for Fedora 41!

But today I upgraded to Fedora 42 and found that there are no
v18 Beta 1 packages available to install yet.

Yours,

I see the packages, and I am not getting an error.

This is what happens:

First, I make sure that I have the latest repository file installed:

  > sudo dnf install -y
https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/F-42-x86_64/pgdg-fedora-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
  Updating and loading repositories:
  Repositories loaded.
   https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/F-42-x86_64/pgdg-fedora-repo-latest.noarch.rpm    100% |
155.4KiB/s |  11.5 KiB |  00m00s 
  Package "pgdg-fedora-repo-42.0-39PGDG.noarch" is already installed.

  Nothing to do.

Then I verify that it didn't install it as *.rpmnew:

  > ls /etc/yum.repos.d/pgdg-*
  /etc/yum.repos.d/pgdg-fedora-all.repo

There is only one v18 repository defined in the file.
I am trying to make sure that it is enabled:

  > sudo dnf config-manager setopt pgdg18-updates-testing.enabled=1

But "dnf" only finds the Alpha packages:

  > sudo dnf install postgresql18-server
  Updating and loading repositories:
  Repositories loaded.
  Package "postgresql18-server-18-alpha_20250417_PGDG.f42.x86_64" is already installed.

  Nothing to do.

Yours,
Laurenz Albe

Same issue here. 
https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/testing/18/fedora/fedora-42-x86_64/ 
only lists v18 alpha packages from Apr. 17.

Fedora 40 and 41 have uptodate packages according to 
https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/testing/18/fedora/fedora-41-x86_64/ 
and 
https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/testing/18/fedora/fedora-40-x86_64/.

Sysadmins team fixed this particular problem. Please let me know if the
similar issue happens again in the future.

I still don't get the beta packages:

  > sudo dnf --refresh install postgresql18-server
  Updating and loading repositories:
   [...]

  Nothing to do.

Might be a cache issue. Anyway, it's working for me right now.

Thank you, Devrim!
