1. Redhat 5.0 RPMS request

   D. Dante Lorenso <dlorenso@afai.com> — 1998-02-24T16:40:04Z

   Are you guys going to make an RPM for Redhat 5.0 when 6.3 is 
   released?  I'd like that very much.  
   
   Thanks!

   I don't know who packages the "official" RedHat RPM for this. It would
   be nice to coordinate it with the Postgres project so we can make sure
   bug fixes and workarounds for Linux are incorporated.
   
   The current RPM for RH5.0 is compiled with USE_LOCALE turned on. I
   haven't been able to figure out how to get proper locale support since
   pre-RH4.2, though I did have it working at one time. My little test
   program which used to work does not now, and I don't know if it is
   because I forgot something about how to set up the environment or if
   something in the configuration changed.
   
   Does anyone want to track this down and make it work for RH5.0? That
   would ensure that v6.3 can operate cleanly. btw, a test for the locale
   support is to try "select '$1.00'::money;". Works fine on my RH4.2 box
   with locale support disabled (the default for a clean install from
   source), and fails on both RH4.2 and on my RH5.0 box when locale support
   is compiled in...

   This brings me to the question: Is the RedHat maintainer listening on this
   list? I think he definitely should be. Anyway, I know Oliver (the Debian
   maintainer) is. :-)
