new PostgreSQL
Hi.
I read recent proposition of the maintainer about conflicting with previous
version and remark that package has to be renamed to do that.
I don't like that renaming thing after each, even non-major version.
I have another proposition: Do not make package conflict with previous
version, let dselect upgrade it, but stop the server and do NOT restart
it. Display a notice that in order to make old database work, sys admin
should follow instructions in /usr/doc/postgresql/Readme.uprgade and
modify /etc/init.d/postgresql. In the latter, you just put short
instructions and reference to that Readme and "exit 0" before the
start-stop script itself, with a notice to remove this "exit 0" after
data is dumped and restored.
How about it?
Alex Y.
