We install PGDG as part of a CloudFormation template we offer to construct and configure a cluster on EC2. The template included installation of the pgdg-ami201503-95-9.5-2.noarch.rpm package directly from a PGDG URL.
Unfortunately, this package was removed, causing deployment issues for users of our template. While I understand replacing it with the -3 variant (which uses HTTPS URLs), I don’t understand why older versions were removed. In every other Red Hat OS, they remain; seemingly only the Amazon Linux variants were removed.
Why were the older Amazon repo RPMs removed, and what is the policy going forward on their removal?
Solution?
I noticed one of the OSes has a -latest.rpm variant. If this could be provided for all OSes, it makes installation much simpler (it could be implemented by a symlink). We’ve had to write our own scripts (here and here) to ensure we have the “right” version for a given Red Hat OS. Being able to append -latest.rpm to all URLs would be a fantastic improvement and let us remove this knowledge from our codebase.
