Re: upgrading postgresql84 package from rhel-x86_64-server-5 repo

Devrim,

Yes, I checked there. The problem is the package names don't match. I currently have a package named "postgresql84" installed. The postgresql.org repo has the "postgresql" package. Is it possible to upgrade "postgresql84" using the RPM from "postgresql" ?

Regards,
John

Hi,

http://yum.postgresql.org/8.4/redhat/rhel-5Server-x86_64/

I can see 8.4.17 there. Maybe you checked somewhere else?

Regards, Devrim

I hope this is the correct mailing list for installation issues.

We currently have postgresql84-8.4.5 installed on our server. I would like to upgrade it to postgresql84-8.4.17. However, the rhel-x86_64-server-5 repo only goes up to postgresql84-8.4.13.

Is there another repo I can use for the postgresql84 packages that has postgresql84-8.4.17? Or an RPM I can get somewheres? Why is the rhel-x86_64-server-5 repo not current?

Or do I have to do a complete reinstall from "postgresql84" packages to "postgresql" packages in order to use a new repo, such as yum.postgresql.org?

Any advice on how to go about this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
John
