However, it only takes one exception to brea= k with the rules.=20 You probably know that it's not only annoying, but it can have pretty grave= consequences for some systems if stock packages are overwritten. Perhaps y= ou have already thought about it, but I still would like to suggest finding= a solution for this problem.=20 You could separate the base PostgreSQL packages (safe) from an extras repo = (non-safe). For example, I (and many more) only need the PostgreSQL package= s, and have no need for third-party extras such as pgadmin4. I can offer to help if that is desired.=20 Kind regards, Pim Rupert --=20 Sent via pgsql-pkg-yum mailing list (pgsql-pkg-yum@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-pkg-yum
