FEDORA-2009-2927

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Name        : postgresql
Product     : Fedora 9
Version     : 8.3.7
Release     : 1.fc9
URL         : https://www.postgresql.org/
Summary     : PostgreSQL client programs and libraries
Description :
PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system
(DBMS) that supports almost all SQL constructs (including
transactions, subselects and user-defined types and functions). The
postgresql package includes the client programs and libraries that
you'll need to access a PostgreSQL DBMS server.  These PostgreSQL
client programs are programs that directly manipulate the internal
structure of PostgreSQL databases on a PostgreSQL server. These client
programs can be located on the same machine with the PostgreSQL
server, or may be on a remote machine which accesses a PostgreSQL
server over a network connection. This package contains the docs
in HTML for the whole package, as well as command-line utilities for
managing PostgreSQL databases on a PostgreSQL server.

If you want to manipulate a PostgreSQL database on a remote PostgreSQL
server, you need this package. You also need to install this package
if you're installing the postgresql-server package.

* Fri Jun 20 2008 Tom Lane  8.3.3-2
- Install Pgtcl in /usr/lib/tcl$TCL_VERSION, not directly in /usr/lib.
  Needed because tcl 8.5 no longer puts /usr/lib into its package search path.
  NOTE: do not back-port this change into branches using pre-8.5 tcl, because
  /usr/lib/tcl8.4 had been a symlink to /usr/share/tcl8.4, and /usr/share
  is exactly where we must not put Pgtcl.
Resolves: #228263
* Wed Jun 11 2008 Tom Lane  8.3.3-1
- Update to PostgreSQL 8.3.3.
- Remove postgresql-prefer-ncurses.patch, no longer needed in recent
  Fedora releases because libtermcap is gone.
- Enable LDAP support
Resolves: #445315
- Use -Wl,--as-needed to suppress bogus dependencies for libraries that
  are really only needed by some of the subpackages
- Clean up cross-subpackage Requires: to ensure that updating any one
  subpackage brings in the matching versions of others.

* Thu May 22 2008 Dennis Gilmore  8.3.1-2

* Thu May 22 2008 Dennis Gilmore  8.3.1-2
