PostgreSQL server is missing
Last modified: 2005-10-07 12:11:07 UTC
Greetings, PostgreSQL server is missing in distro. I think it should be there if MySQL and SQLite are provided.
SUSE Linux has always included PostgreSQL, and there are no plans to change this. These are the PostgreSQL packages that ship with SUSE Linux 10.0: postgresql-8.0.3-5.i586.rpm postgresql-contrib-8.0.3-5.i586.rpm postgresql-devel-8.0.3-5.i586.rpm postgresql-docs-8.0.3-5.i586.rpm postgresql-libs-8.0.3-5.i586.rpm postgresql-pl-8.0.3-5.i586.rpm postgresql-server-8.0.3-5.i586.rpm So, what exactly are you missing?
I beleive that it is included in 10.0 release, but it doesn't in 10.1 Alpha1 that I downloaded 3 days ago: shark:~ # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 76G 5.2G 71G 7% / initramdevs 506M 48K 506M 1% /dev tmpfs 506M 12K 506M 1% /dev/shm /dev/sdb1 38G 22G 16G 58% /srv/export /root/SUSE-10.1-CD-OSS-i386-Alpha1-CD1.iso 601M 601M 0 100% /media/cd1 /root/SUSE-10.1-CD-OSS-i386-Alpha1-CD2.iso 650M 650M 0 100% /media/cd2 /root/SUSE-10.1-CD-OSS-i386-Alpha1-CD3.iso 685M 685M 0 100% /media/cd3 /root/SUSE-10.1-CD-OSS-i386-Alpha1-CD4.iso 665M 665M 0 100% /media/cd4 /root/SUSE-10.1-CD-OSS-i386-Alpha1-CD5.iso 525M 525M 0 100% /media/cd5 shark:~ # ls /media/cd?/suse/i586/*postg* /media/cd2/suse/i586/postgresql-libs-8.0.3-6.i586.rpm /media/cd4/suse/i586/qt3-postgresql-3.3.5-5.i586.rpm /media/cd3/suse/i586/mono-data-postgresql-1.1.8.3-10.i586.rpm shark:~ #
OK, so the rest of PostgreSQL was among the packages that had to be left out from the CD set, because five CDs can't hold as much data as a single DVD. I can assure you that we will continue shipping the whole set of PostgreSQL packages in the final product, but I don't know for which of the prereleases there will be DVD images again.
