Updated: postgresql-8.1.4-2, postgresql-8.2.5-1 [EXPERIMENTAL]


postgresql 8.1.4-2 is promoted from test to current and
8.2.5-1 is added to test via the cygwin setup.exe
mirror network.

What's new:
  http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/release-8-1-4.html
  http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/release-8-2-5.html

Before you upgrade a postgresql package to a new new major or
minor version (7.4 => 8.0 => 8.1 => 8.2), be sure to dump all your data before!
With the new package you will not be able to access your old databases.
=> http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/app-pg-dumpall.html
Minor subrelease updates (e.g. 8.0.4 to 8.0.7) can safely access the
same database.


Be sure to read the README.cygwin and the postgresql documentation.

I recommend to install the new 8.2 right away, available as [test]
version from setup. I use it successfully since Nov 2007.

I'll keep 8.1.4-2 a while as curr, and will update to 8.2.5-1 as curr
in about two weeks.
8.2.6 and 8.3.x don't compile out of the box, and I'm rather working on the new features of 8.3, and I do not trying to fix 8.2.6 or 8.2.7.


Warning:
8.2.5-1 /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql has a minor bug in "initdb".
Comment out the line which does mkdir ${SOCKETDIR}
if you use this convenience script.

Please ask questions here at <cygwin@cygwin.com>,
and only if you really have to, over at <pqsql-cygwin@postgresql.org>.

==========================================

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.
