[pkg-xtuple-maintainers] Bug#731521: feedback please - Postgresql versions?

[Daniel Pocock]

This Debian bug report concerns the PostgresQL version for Postbooks
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=731521

I haven't responded so far because it wasn't clear whether 9.3 or 9.4
will be in the next Debian release.

xTuple publish a compatibility matrix here
http://www.xtuple.org/compatibility-matrix#PostgreSQL

and here is a summary:

Postbooks versions 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3   with PostgreSQL 9.1  (Debian wheezy)

Postbooks versions 4.4, 4.5 with PostgreSQL 9.1 or 9.3 (Debian wheezy,
recent Ubuntu releases)



>From what I can see in Debian and Ubuntu:


Ubuntu LTS 14.04 has PostgreSQL 9.3
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postgresql-9.3

Ubuntu 14.10 has PostgreSQL 9.3 and 9.4?
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postgresql-9.3
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postgresql-9.4

Debian 8 jessie will ship PostgreSQL 9.4
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/postgresql


It seems like the Postbooks version released in Debian 8 will have to
work with PostgreSQL 9.4 and this means it will also be OK with Ubuntu
14.10 and later.

Questions for xTuple:

- is 9.4 supported by Postbooks v4.5?

- if not, can PostgreSQL v9.4 be supported with Postbooks v4.6?

Ideally, this will need to be confirmed before the Debian freeze /
before November
