Yum repository RPM behind release

[Jack Douglas]

Hi

Postgres 13 is out and the yum repos for the release exist, eg: 
https://yum.postgresql.org/13/redhat/rhel-8-x86_64/ 
. However the repository 
RPM suggested at https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/ 
 
(https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-8-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
 
)
 still points at rc1.

I also noticed that I didn't get rc1 for a while after the release.

Is the repository RPM updated on an automatic schedule?

Ideally I'd like to get db<>fiddle updated on the day of the release, do I have 
to switch back to Debian from CentOS to achieve that?

Thanks very much Devrim, that got me on the right track.

I had 42.0-14 installed but I had to manually uninstall and re-install to get 
the stable repo in the list in /etc/yum.repos.d/pgdg-redhat-all.repo

rpm -qa | grep pgdg
rpm -e pgdg-redhat-repo-42.0-14.noarch
dnf install -y 
https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-8-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm

Thank you, that makes sense of course — and I had to change the config file to 
set `enabled=1` to enable the testing repo when we first installed.
