Up until 8.2 I never used packages because I ran RH or FC and built
from source since 6.5.2 or so. I started using packages with ubuntu,
and having 8.0, 8.1, and 8.2 installed at the same time, and it's
wonderful for troubleshooting issues that might crop up between
versions. The Debian / Ubuntu way is really much better than the rpm
one.
Does anyone who know about packaging know if this a limitation of the
packaging spec in rpm, or is there a relatively simple way to get an
rpm based machine to run >1 ver of pgsql at a time?
