[gentoo-user] Why is postgresql so old?
Hi, I know I can activate newer version with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS, but why is postgres at gentoo still at version 8.0 when the most current release is 8.3. Are there stability issues?

If you are going to use newer release, you can install it, but in my opinion most of production servers requires only minor version upgrades for bug fixes. -- Regards, Nickolay Hodyunya.

May be slotting would be a good idea? I like the way how it done in ubuntu (with some kind of extra overlay): it is possible to install e.g. 8.2 and 8.3 at the same time, and they would use different init scripts (with version suffix), different configs and everything different. -- Vladimir Rusinov http://greenmice.info/

Looks like the devs had that idea already: [I] dev-db/postgresql-base Available versions: (7.3) (~)7.3.21!t (7.4) (~)7.4.19!t (~)7.4.21-r1!t (8.0) (~)8.0.15!t (~)8.0.17!t (8.1) (~)8.1.11!t (~)8.1.13!t (8.2) (~)8.2.9!t (~)8.2.10!t (8.3) (~)8.3.4!t Bye...
