I have a slightly odd situation and would like to hear how others have
handled this.
I have recently set up a Ubuntu 10.04 server to run an application that
is under development. 10.04 was chosen because it is a long term
support version/distro. The idea being that we would stick with
"stable" software.
One of the other applications in development will be moved to this
server soonish. The developers for the second app have recently
discovered the new features of PostgreSQL 9.x and have expressed a
desire to update.
I've tested the first app against PgSQL 9, and it works fine there.
But, 10.04 does not have PostgreSQL 9 in the repositories, and likely
never will.
Now I know I can just add the backports repository to the server, and
install PgSQL 9, but the question is "should I"?
On one hand, I do like the idea of getting the latest features (database
replication is supposed to be very easy now..). On the other hand, if I
move to more recent "unstable" apps (not that I consider PgSQL
unstable), then why stick with the long term support server?
Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
Shawn
