These scripts attempt to install PostgreSQL from source with the customizations desired for the Wicci System. These scripts may fail
- with a new version of PostgreSQL
- on an untried different operating system platform
- on an upgraded operating system
- when required external components are not available
- when required external components are not found
Therefore, these scripts
- Allow for multiple attempts
- Divide up the stages of each attempt
- Make lots of tests
- Stop as soon as anything important fails
- Generate detailed logs and reports
The latest attempt is promising
- it works on my system :-)
- it probably won’t work on yours :-(
- unless you can help make it better? :-)
There have been three generations of scripts for this purpose!
- PG-Install-2
- the latest all-in-one script
- PG-Install-1
- the first attempt at an all-in-one script
- PG-Install-0
- the oldest scripts
- Doc README
- some documentation regarding this task
