Subject: [wplug-web] Upgrading Postgresql
Message-ID: <429CB67B.1070902@negate.org>

The current version of PostgreSQL on penguin.wplug.org is 7.4.2.  There
are updated packages available for Fedora Core 2 (what penguin is
running) that would upgrade it to 7.4.7.  I'd like to schedule a
database update, but I know that the web server uses it so I'd like to
coordinate with the folks on wplug-web.

Here's the changelog for the update package:

* Mon Feb 21 2005 Tom Lane <tgl at redhat.com> 7.4.7-3.FC2.1

- Repair improper error message in init script when PGVERSION doesn't match.
- Arrange for auto update of version embedded in init script.
- Fix improper call of strerror_r, which leads to junk error messages in
libpq.
- Patch additional buffer overruns in plpgsql (CAN-2005-0247)

* Mon Feb 07 2005 Tom Lane <tgl at redhat.com> 7.4.7-1.FC2.2

- Put regression tests under /usr/lib64 on 64-bit archs, since .so files
  are not architecture-independent.

* Mon Feb 07 2005 Tom Lane <tgl at redhat.com> 7.4.7-1.FC2.1

- Update to PostgreSQL 7.4.7 (fixes CAN-2005-0227, CAN-2005-0244,
  CAN-2005-0245, CAN-2005-0246, and other issues).
- Update to PyGreSQL 3.6.1.
- Add versionless symlinks to jar files (bz#145744)

* Thu Dec 16 2004 Tom Lane <tgl at redhat.com> 7.4.6-1.FC2.2

- Update to PyGreSQL 3.6 (to fix bug #142711)
- Adjust a few file permissions (bug #142431)
- Assign %{_libdir}/pgsql to base package instead of -server (bug #74003)

* Wed Dec 08 2004 Tom Lane <tgl at redhat.com> 7.4.6-1.FC2.1

- Update to PostgreSQL 7.4.6 (bugs 136947, 136949)
- Make init script more paranoid about mkdir step of initializing a new
  database (bugs 136947, 136949)
- Remove contrib/oidjoins stuff from installed fileset; it's of no use
  to ordinary users and has a security issue (bugs 136300, 136301)
- adjust chkconfig priority (bug 128852)
- Solve the stale lockfile problem (bugs 71295, 96981, 134090)
- Use runuser instead of su for SELinux (bug 134588)
- Update to PyGreSQL 3.5.
- Update JDBC jars to driver build 215.
- Add Obsoletes: entries for rh-postgresql packages, per bug 129278.
- Uninstalling server RPM stops postmaster first, per bug 114846.
- Fix su commands to not assume PG user's shell is sh-like, per bug 124024.
- Fix permissions on postgresql-python doc files, per bug 124822.
- Minor postgresql.init improvements.

* Wed Mar 10 2004 Tom Lane <tgl at redhat.com> 7.4.2-1

- Update to PostgreSQL 7.4.2; sync with community SRPM as much as possible.
- Support PGOPTS from /etc/sysconfig/pgsql, per bug 111504.
- Fix permissions on /etc/sysconfig/pgsql, per bug 115278.
- SELinux patch in init file: always su </dev/null, per bug 117901.
- Rebuilt
