Perhaps it just needs to= be clarified that we do support some things on EL7 still, but just don't package anything newer than PG 15. The same pr= obably applies to PG12. For the second location I'm not sure if the page allows to configure constr= aints on the "decision tree". For the third location I'm not even sure if this is really a problem, after= all this is not really meant for human consumptions, and computers would probably not stumble across this anyway. Please let me know if I can help with any particular task. I'm not sure if this is something that should better be tracked by a ticket= at http://redmine.postgresql.org/ - if you want/need that I'll create one. Best regards Julian
