Обсуждение: PG11rc1 / centos7; and, RH6 schedule

Hi,

Wanted to point out that PG11rc1 isn't installable centos7 due to dependencies:

Error: Package: postgis24_11-2.4.5-1.rhel7.x86_64 (pgdg11)
           Requires: SFCGAL
Error: Package: postgis24_11-2.4.5-1.rhel7.x86_64 (pgdg11)
           Requires: libSFCGAL.so.1()(64bit)
Error: Package: gdal-libs-1.11.4-12.rhel7.x86_64 (pgdg11)
           Requires: libgeotiff.so.2()(64bit)

I worked around it by installing repo for PG10:

Installing:

Also, I'm still wondering how long we can expect updates for RH6 to continue?
It'd be good to have a plan for patchlevel updates or major releases.

Thanks,
Justin

:-( Thanks for the report. Fixed. I will release them along with 11.0 packages.

RHEL 6 support will continue at least until 2020, or probably even until 2024,
depending on if upstream projects can still be compiled on RHEL 6 until then.

Thanks.  Note that the links to centos6 PGDG RPMs are broken as of today:

https://yum.postgresql.org/repopackages.php#pg11
=> https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/11/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/pgdg-centos11-11-2.noarch.rpm
=> 404
