The plan is to remove all PostgreSQL packages from Solaris (for the .Next release). So going forward, PostgreSQL will no longer be bundled with Solaris. We will continue to build & upload Solaris tar balls to the community download website and this will become the preferred/recommended source of PostgreSQL for Solaris .Next & OpenSolaris.
Unsurprisingly, the acquisition of MySQL and then the acquisition by Oracle changed the business strategy for both databases in Sun and Solaris. But the very different product development processes & life cycles also made it difficult to ship & maintain PostgreSQL *as part of* Solaris. Note that there are no plans to change Solaris 10 - It will continue to include PostgreSQL 8.1, 8.2 & 8.3 until it's End Of Life. Onno Molenkamp wrote:
Hi, While looking at the list of PSARC cases at http://arc.opensolaris.org/caselog/PSARC/2010/, I noticed the following case: PSARC/2010/216 EOF of PostgreSQL 8.3 and 8.4 (and associated additions) in Solaris Seeing as 8.4 is the current production version of PostgreSQL, does this mean PostgreSQL will be fully removed from (open)solaris (if approved), or will these versions only be removed once 9.0 has been released and packaged?
