1. PostgreSQL 6.5.3 STABLE RPMs released.

   Lamar Owen <lamar.owen@wgcr.org> — 1999-11-06T01:57:51Z

   Now that the 6.5.3 release is official, I am announcing and releasing RPMs for
   version 6.5.3. There is only one major enhancement -- the addition of an
   allowed architecture -- armv41, which was not available before.  From my web
   page: 
   -------------------------------------------------------
   RPM's are now available for version 6.5.3. Changes from 6.5.2-1 to
   6.5.3-1 are:
   
   * Improved README.rpm includes an explanation of the steps in an upgrade,
   includes instructions on running the regression tests, and other minor
   enhancements 
   
   * pgaccess 0.98 is now pulled in from the main tarball instead of a separate
   tarball 
   
   * The patchsets were consolidated somewhat -- as 6.5.3 now includes some
   of the patches that were already included with the 6.5.2-1 rpms, fewer patches
   are required. 
   
   * The source RPM should now build on StrongARM boxes (such as Corel
   Netwinders). Many thanks to Mark Knox (segfault@hardline.org) for the patches
   necessary for StrongARM. 
   
   * Now shipping the odbcinst.ini file that had been inadvertently left out of
   previous RPM's. This file is now in /usr/lib/pgsql.
   --------------------------------------------------------
   As always, let me know of any problems.  The source RPM and Intel binary 
   RPMs prebuilt for RedHat 5.2 and RedHat 6.x are available from
   http://www.ramifordistat.net/postgres .  The wget tool is a great way to mirror
   these RPMs.

2. PostgreSQL 6.5.3 Linux/Alpha Update

   Ryan Kirkpatrick <pgsql@rkirkpat.net> — 1999-11-07T03:15:43Z

   	Now that the 6.5.3 release is official, here is the status of the
   Linux/Alpha pataches for PostgreSQL. Since this was only a minor bugfix
   release, the Linux/Alpha patches for 6.5.2 apply to the 6.5.3 tarball
   cleanly. The resulting, compiled postgres binaries pass all regression
   tests save for the standard off by one in nth decimal place geometry
   difference, and a minor sort order difference in rules. Therefore, there
   will be no 6.5.3 release of the Linux/Alpha patches, just use the 6.5.2
   ones, which you can get from my web page. 
   	As usual, if you hit snags with 6.5.3 and Linux/Alpha, let me
   know, and I will do what I can to help you out.
