RHEL 2.1 rpms for 7.4.2

[Hadley Willan]

Hi People,
Does anybody know where I can find Redhat Enterprise Linux 2.1
versions of the latest Postgresql release?

I've had a look at http://opensource.nederland.net/ but they're only
7.4.1, which is the current version I'm running.

Thanks

Your best bet might be to get the SRPM (source RPM) and build binaries
for yourself. The SRPM ought to work fine on older Linuxen, and
building isn't much harder than "rpmbuild --rebuild".

Why not build it from the source files at the main site?

I just did this on a FC2 system, well not the latest, but 7.4.2 anyway.
In addition I built the latest PHP as well as Apache from sources.

Only trick I used was to grab the startup scrips from the older versions
and modify them for use with the latest versions. Very easy.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to ma*******@postgresql.org)

rpmbuild is broken on RH AS2.1, it can't handle nested ifs

The 7.3 packages should work.

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match

[Dave Cramer]

Agreed,

But people who buy RHAS2.1 in my experience are quite adamant about
using RHAS2.1 packages.

You can get it to build but you have to go in and manually remove some
lines from the spec file.

Well they are RHAS 2.1 packages :) Just rename them. There is almost
zero difference from a PostgreSQL perspective between 7.3 and AS/ES 2.1.
