PostgreSQL RPM's and Red Hat.
Lamar Owen <lamar.owen@wgcr.org> — 2003-05-29T02:19:19Z
I was asked a question about Red Hat's involvement in the PGDG RPM's by e-mail. Since at least one person was interested, I thought I would post to the list to satisfy everyone's curiosity. At the end of this e-mail is a Grand Unified Changelog for the RPMset. It is massive. Back in the summer of 1999, I was quite fed up with the snail's pace of updates for PostgreSQL in RPM form from Red Hat. I likewise was fed up (and still am!) with the way that PostgreSQL major version upgrades require unusual steps for completion. As a result, I volunteered to take on building and maintaining RPMs. I didn't know what I was getting into! Anyway, to make a long story short, I took the existing RPM's (for 6.5 beta) and worked them around into shape. Red Hat took notice, and my RPM's found their way into Red Hat Linux 6.1. I have striven to keep close sync ever since. How close (or not) of sync I have kept is illustrated by the changelog. This changelog is in somewhat reverse chronological order, newest entry first. I began pruning the changelog for each major release for 7.0. So what follows is the full (branched) changelog. Maybe this will be of some interest to someone. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 7.3.x branch: * Tue May 27 2003 Lamar Owen <lamar.owen@wgcr.org> 7.3.3-1PGDG - Synced up with RawHide. - 7.3.3 - Eliminate spurious symlink of libpq.so.2. - Dropped isblank patch; 7.3.3 uses pg_isblank * Wed Apr 16 2003 Andrew Overholt <overholt@redhat.com> 7.3.2-4 - Obsolete postgresql-perl and postgresql-tk * Mon Feb 17 2003 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com> 7.3.2-4 - Add ppc64 patch * Fri Feb 14 2003 Andrew Overholt <overholt@redhat.com> 7.3.2-3 - Remove pltcl.so from postgresql-tcl and plpython.so from postgresql-server. * Wed Feb 12 2003 Andrew Overholt <overholt@redhat.com> 7.3.2-2 - Fix typo in pg_hba.conf tighten patch. * Wed Feb 5 2003 Andrew Overholt <overholt@redhat.com> 7.3.2-1 - Initial 7.3.2 build. - Add bison and flex to BuildRequires line. * Mon Feb 03 2003 Lamar Owen <lamar.owen@ramfordistat.net> - 7.3.2-1PGDG * Wed Jan 22 2003 Tim Powers <timp@redhat.com> - rebuilt * Thu Jan 09 2003 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com> 7.3.1-5 - Rebuild for newer libssl - Add patch4 (isblank.patch) to make it all build * Sat Jan 4 2003 Jeff Johnson <jbj@redhat.com> 7.3.1-4 - use internal dep generator. * Fri Jan 3 2003 Andrew Overholt <overholt@redhat.com> 7.3.1-3 - Remove spurious PreReq line * Fri Jan 3 2003 Andrew Overholt <overholt@redhat.com> 7.3.1-2 - Rebuild with new 7.3.1 tarball - Remove obsoletes postgresql-perl line (should have been postgresql-plperl) as we did not have that package previously * Mon Dec 23 2002 Lamar Owen <lamar.owen@ramifordistat.net> - 7.3.1-1PGDG - Fix dependency order for test and pl subpackages. - Fixed a bug in the initscript for echo_success * Wed Dec 18 2002 Andrew Overholt <overholt@redhat.com> 7.3.1-1 - Initial 7.3.1 build. * Tue Dec 17 2002 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com> 7.3-6 - Make postgresql-pl obsolete postgresql-perl, not postgresql-plperl * Fri Dec 13 2002 Andrew Overholt <overholt@redhat.com> - Remove perl(Pg) dependency - Bash profile PGDATA fix - Updated initscript to new community version * Tue Dec 10 2002 Andrew Overholt <overholt@redhat.com> - Upgrade to 7.3 community spec file. - Add patch to use with multilib. - Change explicit path names to use RPM macros (multilib). - Add security patch. * Thu Dec 05 2002 Lamar Owen <lamar.owen@ramifordistat.net> - 7.3-2PGDG - Fix typo in initscript.
