Comment 14 for bug 1517658

Hi Aaron,

No idea why Red Hat are so far behind. Officially, Postgres was end-of-life in July 2014 (http://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/), which is way past use-by date.

It may not be much immediate use at your end but, when talking to people who say they're effectively version-locked because of the SOE, there is an official alternative. If you're doing the full Red Hat Enterprise thing, which many unis are because the academic pricing is nice, you should have access to "Red Hat Software Collections" (I think it's enabled by default for academic licensing), which adds Postgres 9.2. So they actually can be supported *and* current. (I discovered this by accident here, and had just installed these packages when I saw your response with the patch, so I immediately backed out to avoid even more upgrading.)

Anyway, thanks for the quick fix, made my life much easier.

Cheers,
Marcus
