I added 9.4 (and 9.5) jobs to the pgapt jenkins some weeks ago and built some modules. 9 green, 2 yellow (built but autopkgtests fail), and 6 reds don't look too bad. Some of the failures are because the packages don't have 9.4 (or "all") in debian/pgversions yet, or other trivial problems. I'll investigate those. Generally I think 9.4 won't be a big porting hurdle, but of course individual packages have, well, individual problems. pl/R isn't really special, that's one of the "green" ones. PostGIS is of course much more involved. Markus? > Otherwise, sounds good to me. > > Thanks, and have a good weekend! I'll start by uploading pg-common to experimental with 9.4 added to the supported-versions (with 9.3 still default so we don't have to roll back anything). I'll poke the PG people if there's any ETA for beta2.
