Обсуждение: references to packaged versions of PostgreSQL
In light of the recent inquiry about postgresql RPMs, it might make sense to have on our web page some references to packaged up versions (or other means of easily installing postgresql) for specific operating systems. As an effort to start that, here are some relevant URLs pointing to the NetBSD package system for postgresql (and some more general ones). Note that even though the package page is retrievable via ftp it is a browsable page. NetBSD PostgreSQL package ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/databases/postgresql/README.html NetBSD homepage http://www.netbsd.org NetBSD packages information http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html Perhaps a page that went something like the following would be useful. It could be filled in with relevant entries as we become aware of them, and might point people to relatively easy installation pathways if they need it. Cheers, Brook =========================================================================== Several packages for PostgreSQL have been created to ease the process of installing the system under specific operating systems. See the following documents for more information. Operating system Package name ---------------- ------------ NetBSD <ref URL> databases/postgresql <ref URL> ...
