* Version on the yum.postgresql.org website

Hi all,
I'm not sure of policy on the yum.postgresql.org website, but I have a small difficulty. We haven't yet upgraded beyond 9.3.3, and that's been working fairly well for us. For an
upcoming project, we need to build out a new environment from scratch, which means being able to download everything from either the RedHat yum sites or from 3rd party yum sites.
Well, the older 9.3.3 version isn't on the postgresql site anymore. Now 9.3.4 and above are, but that means a whole new and time-consuming round of testing if we migrate up. Is
there any chance of putting the older 9.3.3 instance back on the yum site? Or is some major flaw with 9.3.3 that should motivate us to get off it immediately?
Thanks,
Jay

I think you need to read this, and do all minor upgrades when they are
available:
http://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/
The community considers not upgrading to be riskier than
upgrading.

The PostgreSQL versioning follows X.Y.Z, where X.Y is the release, and Z is
bug-fix, so you should always run the higher Z of your X.Y version, see the
versioining policy at [1]. An upgrade on Z shouldn't cause incompatibility,
but you should check the first paragraphs of the release notes [2].
So, that all means you should be on 9.3.6 right now.

Sure, I read this earlier, but if this is really the issue, then why are 9.3.4 and 9.3.5 both still available on the yum site? Isn't that also a sort of violation since the current
version of 9.3 is 9.3.6?

Consider this:

"Oh, and please update to 9.3.6; there are some nasty bugs fixed."

Yikes, I see what you mean, even though we haven't experienced any issues with 9.3.3. You should all know that I personally have no problem upgrading at all and I've even put 9.4.0
into a sandbox just to satisfy my own curiosity. The problem here is more political, including the fact that Verizon is trying to migrate off of postgresql. I'm reasonably certain
if I say to migrate to a newer version, the suggestion will get canned, and the order come down to start using NuoDB instead.

Reason: I am sometimes lazy to remove older versions. :-) What we try to
do is keep last 2 versions of the packages under normal circumstances.
I'll run another cleanup soon.

We created the webpage talking about upgrading so people could point to
that as support during political arguments about upgrading.
