For the last few months, there were no "postgresql", "postgresql-doc",
and so on meta packages in squeeze-backports. The laster versions
there disappeared somewhere at the begining of this year. These were
depending on postgresql-9.1, postgresql-doc-9.1, and so on. (They are
still in the pool, but were not included in packages files.)
The postgresql-common package would have produced meta packages
depending on the supported PostgreSQL version in squeeze, which is
8.4. These were not uploaded, though. Yesterday's postgresql-common
upload included those 8.4 meta packages.
After some discussion, we concluded that people who install the
backport version of the meta packages would probably expect to also
get the newest backport version of the PostgreSQL server. So, I've now
uploaded a new postgreql-common source that sets the default version
to 9.1.
This also means that packages using pg_buildext to build PostgreSQL
modules will now automatically have backports for 8.4 and 9.1 modules.
Changes:
postgresql-common (130~bpo60+2) squeeze-backports; urgency=low
.
* Set the list of supported versions for squeeze to 9.1 and 8.4, making 9.1
the default version. This will make the various meta packages depend on
9.1 on squeeze. Packages using pg_buildext will now build modules for
versions 8.4 and 9.1, instead of only 8.4.
