pginstaller policy?

pginstaller policy?

am 28.05.2010 13:22:13 von Jan-Peter.Seifert

Hello,

I wonder whether pginstaller is still being maintained for 8.3 and 8.2, b=
ecause there are no binaries for the current minor versions yet and becau=
se of this comment from January 10ths newsletter:

---------------------------
In pgsql/doc/src/sgml/installation.sgml, update Windows installation
notes. pginstaller isn't used anymore, in favor of the one-click
installers. Make it clear that we support Windows 2000 and newer
with the native port, instead of first saying we support NT4 and
then saying we don't.
---------------------------

The web page ( http://www.postgresql.org/download/windows ) does not say =
that pginstaller is suspended (yet).

It's just that - as far as I know - the clusters initialized by the one-c=
lick installer and pginstaller are incompatible with each other (timestam=
p). So a whole pg_dump/pg_restore session for each 'pginstaller' server w=
ould be necessary in order to update to a newer 'one-click only' minor ve=
rsion ...

So ... is pginstaller dead or just delayed this time?

Could you tell me, please?

Thank you very much,

Peter

I talked to Dave Page and it seems the pginstaller (non-bitRock) Win32
installers were _not_ moved from their beta holding area to the download
section.

They have just been moved and the URLs are now:

ftp://developer.postgresql.org/pub/binary/v8.3.11/win32/
ftp://developer.postgresql.org/pub/binary/v8.2.17/win32/

They will propogate to the main download pages in 24 hours.

Thanks for the report, and sorry for the problem.

That's odd ... wonder why v8.3 and v8.2 were overlooked ... but v8.4 was
moved?

No idea. I talked to Dave Page on IM and he thought it wasn't moved.

It wasn't until I did it. There are no 8.4 MSI installers to be moved.
