The PPA:
- only supported a few versions of pg, not all supported ones
- regularly dropped releases while they were still supported by PGDG
- had quite a few packages only for certain versions (e.g. pgadmin)
All that is understandable, its a lot of work, but it really sucks if
you use pg productively and suddently no updates are available anymore
for the version youre using.
