Testers: 8.4 snapshot RPMs are available

Hi,

If you are a Fedora-9 or RHEL/CentOS 5 user and want to test new
features of PostgreSQL 8.4 and help development team, you may use the
packages that I have just released, based on today's CVS snapshot. I am
planning to push new packages each weekend during commitfest.

Please note that these packages are not built using the official
tarball. I built it with the help of some PostgreSQL hackers.

These are not stable packages. Use them at your own risk. They are *not*
production ready.

As usual, the RPMs are available at http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org .

Please install repository RPMs from here first:

http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/reporpms/repoview/letter_p.group.html

Remove existing RPMs after taking your backups, and then install 8.4
packages. Current set is labeled as 8.4devel_03092008-1PGDG . You may
want to install -debuginfo RPM, which may help PostgreSQL developers to
get some data in case you find a bug.

Source RPMs are also available:

http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/srpms/8.4

(and they are installable using yum).

Please report any packaging related errors to me. If you find any
PostgreSQL 8.4 bugs, please post them to pgsql-bugs(at)PostgreSQL(dot)org or
fill this form:
