Hi,

I am interested in deploying PG 8.3.0 on one of our in-house appliance  
product that is managed using RPMs and openSuse. Will there be RPMs  
for Suse from PostgreSQL or should I wait until Suse releases their  
own RPMs?

Thanks,
Pepe

Our project does not include SuSE "for now". I have built some binaries
(like Slony-I and PostgreSQL) for OpenSuSE, but honestly I don't have
any intention to support SuSE for now (already out of time).

Looks like SuSE is not updating PostgreSQL binaries that much:

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/postgresql/

I CC'ed this e-mail to Reinhard, who is (still?) responsible for
PostgreSQL packaging @ SuSE.

You are welcome to switch to Fedora/RHEL/CentOS btw ;)

Or a real linux like Ubuntu/Debian.

The plan is to get quasi-official RPMs for SUSE onto the openSUSE build
service.  The only thing holding this back at the moment is the lack of time
for the people involved.

I was just wondering yesterday if it was possible to use the openSUSE
build service to build the RPMs for other distros too (the various
Fedoras, CentOS, RHEL); they advertise it as working for that, though I
wasn't able to find an actual list of supported distributions.
