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

Hi,

Ahh, you are using Red Hat's packages. Community packages support postgresql84 naming scheme for RHEL 6. You may want to pester Red Hat for updated packages (i.e. Tom), or use ours (which is fully compatible with RH packages). Usually community pushes updates quicker.

I am sure you can replace rh packages with ours pretty easily.

Regards,
