* Ubuntu 18.04 Support @ 2023-04-28 21:50 Don Seiler <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 1 reply; 5+ messages in thread From: Don Seiler @ 2023-04-28 21:50 UTC (permalink / raw) To: [email protected] Good afternoon, I'm writing to ask if there's any timeframe for when PGDG would stop providing packages for Ubuntu 18.04, given that Ubuntu's own EOL date for it is May 31 of this year. While I'm working to migrate our fleet of databases to Ubuntu 22.04, it is a very slow process due to the libc collation change that prevents simple physical replication from being used, and with very large and/or very busy databases, logical replication or pg_dump/restore sometimes require some extra/creative problem solving. So I'm curious what to expect from PGDG in terms of the next few quarterly patch cycles in case something urgent is released.

Hi Don, we usually follow that EOL date. There are various tweaks in place to keep things working on the old Debian and Ubuntu releases, and from time to time, it's good to be able to remove the oldest tweaks so the rest of the machinery can move forward.

Any idea how long the existing Ubuntu 18.04 PGDG packages will remain available on your apt repo? Don.

They won't go away, they will eventually be moved to apt-archive.postgresql.org and can indefinitely used there. Just not with any updates. When that happens isn't clear yet, but with the LTS releases I usually copy packages over and remove the (then read-only) original packages from apt.postgresql.org only months later, after an announcement.
