I was asked a question about Red Hat's involvement in the PGDG RPM's by
e-mail. Since at least one person was interested, I thought I would post to
the list to satisfy everyone's curiosity. At the end of this e-mail is a
Grand Unified Changelog for the RPMset. It is massive.
Back in the summer of 1999, I was quite fed up with the snail's pace of
updates for PostgreSQL in RPM form from Red Hat. I likewise was fed up (and
still am!) with the way that PostgreSQL major version upgrades require
unusual steps for completion. As a result, I volunteered to take on building
and maintaining RPMs. I didn't know what I was getting into!
Anyway, to make a long story short, I took the existing RPM's (for 6.5 beta)
and worked them around into shape. Red Hat took notice, and my RPM's found
their way into Red Hat Linux 6.1. I have striven to keep close sync ever
since.
How close (or not) of sync I have kept is illustrated by the changelog. This
changelog is in somewhat reverse chronological order, newest entry first. I
began pruning the changelog for each major release for 7.0. So what follows
is the full (branched) changelog. Maybe this will be of some interest to
someone.

-- main package.
- RPM patchset has release number, now, to prevent patchfile confusion :-(.
* Sat Jun 03 2000 Lamar Owen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- Incorporate most of Trond's changes (reenabled the alpha

* Mon May 01 2000 Lamar Owen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

6.5.x and prior:

- Corrected security problem of /var/lib/pgsql being mode 755.
- /usr/lib/pgsql/backup permissions also a potential hole, though not
-- as serious as the /var/lib/pgsql hole

-- than having no documentation at all in its present form. When it is
-- corrected for accuracy and conciseness, it will be reinstated.

- Corrected some misinformation in /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql
* Fri Nov 05 1999 Lamar Owen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

src/interfaces/Makefile
-- perl5 -> perl patch mainlined.
* Sat Sep 25 1999 Dale Lovelace <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- Fix init script
- fix README.rpm
* Sat Sep 25 1999 Jeff Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- Red Hat 6.1 release candidate.

changed until after 6.1 ships.
* Tue Sep 21 1999 Jeff Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- merge postgresql-6.5.1-0.7lo changes. Thanks Lamar!

* Mon Sep 20 1999 Lamar Owen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- 6.5.2-0.2lo
- Upgrade to 6.5.2
- Add some versioning to the init script -- source is postgresql.init.VERSION
- Added some intelligence to init script
- Cleaned up the migration script packaging -- now in a tarball
- Consolidated some patches
- Added the JDK 1.2 JDBC jar to the existing JDK1.1 jar.
* Sat Sep 18 1999 Lamar Owen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- 0.7lo
- First stab at integrating modified versions of the Debian migration scripts.
-- Courtesy Oliver Elphick, Debian package maintainer, PostgreSQL Global
-- Development Group.
- /usr/lib/pgsql/backup/pg_dumpall_new -- a modifed pg_dumpall used in the
-- migration -- modified to work with the older executables.
- /usr/bin/postgresql_dump -- the migration script.
- Upgrade strategy:
-- 1.) %pre for main package saves old package's executables
-- 2.) the postgresql init script in -server detects PGDATA existence
-- and version, notifies user if upgrade is necessary
-- 3.) Rather than fully automating upgrade, the tools are provided:
-- a.) /usr/bin/postgresql_dump
-- b.) /usr/lib/pgsql/backup/pg_dumpall_new
-- c.) The executables backed up by %pre in /usr/lib/pgsql/backup
-- 4.) Documentation on RPM differences and upgrades in README.rpm
-- 5.) A fully automatic upgrade can be facilitated by some more code
-- in /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql, if desired.
- added documentation for rpm setup, and upgrade (README.rpm)
- added newer man pages from Thomas Lockhart
- Put the PL's in the right place -- /usr/lib/pgsql, not /usr/lib. My error.
- Added Requires: postgresql = %{version} for all sub packages.
- Need to reorganize sources in next release, as the current number of source
-- files is a little large.
* Tue Sep 07 1999 Cristian Gafton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- upgraded pgaccess to the latest 0.98 stable version
- fix braindead pgaccess installation and add pgaccess dosucmenattaion to
the package containing pgaccess rather than main package
- add missing templates tp the /usr/lib/pgsql directory
- added back the PostgreSQL howto (I wish people will STOP removing
documentation from this package!)
- get rid of the perl handling overkill (what the hell was that needed for?)
- "chkconfig --del" should be done in the server package, not the main
package
- make server packeg own only /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql, not the whole
/etc/rc.d (doh!)
- don't ship OS2 executable client as documenatation...
- if we have a -tcl subpackage, make sure that other packages don't need tcl
anymore by moving tcl-dependent binaries in the -tcl package... [pltcl.so]
- if we are using /sbin/chkconfig we don't need the /etc/rc.d/rc?.d symlinks
* Sat Sep 4 1999 Jeff Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- use _arch not (unknown!) buildarch macro (#4913).

- Release 3lo
- Picked up pgaccess README.
- Built patch set for rpm versus tarball idiosyncrasies:
-- munged some paths in the regression tests (_OBJWD_), trigger functions
-- munged USER for regression tests.
-- Added perl and python examples -- required patching the shebang to drop
-- local in /usr/local/bin
- Changed rc.d level from S99 to S75, as there are a few server daemons that
-- might actually need to load AFTER pgsql -- AOLserver is an example.
- config.guess included in server package by default -- used by regress tests.
- Preliminary test subpackage, containing entire src/test tree.
- Prebuild of binaries in the test subpackage.
- Added pgaccess-0.97 beta as /usr/bin/pgaccess97 for testing
- Removed the DATABASE-HOWTO; it was SO old, and the newer release of it
-- is a stock part of the RedHat HOWTOS package.

- Noted that the perl client is operational.
* Fri Aug 6 1999 Lamar Owen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
