Thanks Daniel, Peter, Brian, Even for your contribution to this discussion.

Based upon Daniel and Peter's concerns about the stability of their applications, I think that we should revert to Postgres 8.4 for this release.

Brian, would you mind updating the appropriate install script(s)?

pgRouting is probably not going to work with 9.1, because the pgRouting packages on Launchpad are built for 8.4 for (X)ubuntu 11.04. It would be quite some extra work to just build packages for 9.1 and 11.04, which I would like to avoid, because these packages already exist for 11.10 (on my PC) and there were some patches necessary. And I don't want to revert to a script again to download, compile and install ;-)

So I'm -1 to install some "non-official" PostgreSQL version on this LiveDVD release. It will be just a matter of six months to have 9.1 anyway if we will upgrade to 12.04. IMO, if 9.1 is so important we should have used 11.10 for this release.

    Compatability for Postgres 9.1 is in the 90% + range
    The problem people run into is that since Postgres is a
    fundemental piece of any stack,
    it is some work to rebuild the stack to test with a new version...
    I would be surprised if there are any compatability problems at
    all for most all apps
    other than people hard-coding version numbers and the like

    Brian,

        Based upon Peter's request, my feeling is that we should
        revert back to Postgres 8.4. Our emphasis on OSGeo-Live is
        "stability over cutting edge". This is because we are
        targeting new users who will be very quickly turned off if
        they find a bug, and will generally not be looking to check
        out the latest and greatest. (They can always go to a project
        page later if they want to find latest features). Anyone wish
        to weigh in on this topic before we make a call on which
        posgres to use?
