[arch-dev-public] Package naming question, postgresql pg_upgrade package
In order to make using pg_upgrade a lot easier and possible on an Arch system (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/21929), I'm building a package of the prior major version of postgresql, as the binaries and such are necessary for pg_upgrade to do it's business. Basically this is a stripped down package containing only what is necessary, and installs mostly in /opt. It is *not* meant to be ran as a standalone instance, and no initscripts or anything are provided. When I started writing the PKGBUILD for it, I named it "postgresql-minimal", but that doesn't really convey the fact that it isn't mean to be useful on its own. So: * "postgresql-previous" * "postgresql-upgrade" * "postgresql-previous-minimal" Please suggest without bikeshedding, I'll pick something about six hours from now. The description will contain the "don't use this for much" bits, but I at least want the name to not be misleading. -Dan

How about "postgres-migrate"? Xfce uses /usr/lib/xfce4/panel/migrate to move its config from 4.6.x to 4.8.x updates. Just my suggestion. -Andy
