Heya everyone,
I'm not sure anyone else is seriously running postgresql right now, but
I've been using it for some test development, and eventually I intend to
deploy to GNU Guix machines.
I think to do this, we'll need to keep around the prior version of
postgres. pg_upgrade requires it:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/pgupgrade.html
I think the right approach will be to keep around the prior version,
eg postgresql-9.4, as a first step. As a second step, it might be nice
to have a package that's something like "postgres-upgrade-recent" which
has all the shorthands for pointing at both the prior postgres binary
and this one, and so hands the user a single script for running the
upgrade.
Just thought I'd write this out while thinking about it. Does it make
sense?
- Chris
