Package: postgresql-common Version: 32 Severity: normal Hello,
It is a gread idea to allow several clusters and several postgresql servers coexist together, thanks for that work! In our house, we have to manage several existing postgresql deployments of different versions in parallel. But I have a little problem: When connecting to remote servers via -h -p -U options, I did not find any possibility to specify which client version to use (I currently have all three versions of postgresql-client installed, as we have 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1 servers). I always end up using the 7.4 client. But the postgresql people recommend to use the corresponding psql version. There are no psql-8.1 or alike commands (this is how gcc solves this, gcc itsself is the default, and gcc-3.3, gcc-3.4 and gcc-4.0 are the specific commands). And I did not find any possibility to specify remote hosts via the user_clusters mechanism, this seems to work for local clusters only. The only way I found to work around this is to call the binaries in /usr/lib/postgresql/X.Y/bin/ directly, which is cumbersome. Thanks, Markus Btw: Is it necessary to display 2 warning dialogs that complain about the obscolence of postgresql 8.0 when upgrading postgresql-common? And, notice, it is not complaining about the 7.4 server (which is actually installed on my local machine), but about 8.0 which is not installed. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14.1 Locale: LANG=C, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages postgresql-common depends on: ii adduser 3.77 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.59 Debian configuration management sy Versions of packages postgresql-common recommends: ii openssl 0.9.8a-3 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary a -- debconf information: * postgresql-common/obsolete-major: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
