Postgresql 8.2 backport for Ubuntu Edgy
“This release touches almost every command and database facility,” said PostgreSQL core team member and EnterpriseDB database architect Bruce Momjian. “It adds expanded, compatible syntax and interfaces which have been requested by our community, making it easier for new DBAs to fully use all of PostgreSQL’s advanced features.”

This is great. Will there be a backport for Dapper? Dapper is the latest extended support version of Ubuntu.

deb http://www.freshnet.org/debian/ edgy/ doesn’t seem to work. When I put that in my /etc/apt/sources.list, I can see only a single package:
$ apt-cache search “postgresql.*8.2″
postgresql-doc-8.2 - documentation for the PostgreSQL database management system
Possibly the least important package in the archive.

I get it… It’s because I’m running on amd64.
Guess I’ll try to recompile the package myself! How do I download the package source? apt-get source tells me, “E: Unable to find a source package for postgresql-8.2″
Did you upload a source package?

Hi,
I second that: any chances to get a backport for Dapper too ?
Can we use this one in Dapper ?
Ciao,

Looks like postgresql 8.2 requires postgresql-common >= 63, which is not present. Only 62 is available in edgy. Do you know what I can do?

Any luck with the postgresql-common >=63 not available problem?
Thanks

Not yet, i’ll post if I figure something out.

Because of a blocking issue I decided on craziness …
Opened up sources.list, made an entry for feisty, apt-get update followed by apt-get install postgresql-8.2 postgresql-client-8.2. After that was finished I removed the feisty repository line.
Seemed to work fine, but your mileage my vary

edgy-backports now has a working copy of this (and it’s up to date).

Do you know if I can run it with 7.4.7 already installed ?
