It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running |
| 40 |
dev-db/postgresql-7.2.1-r2 and earlier update their systems |
| 41 |
as follows: |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
emerge rsync |
| 44 |
emerge postgresql |
| 45 |
emerge clean |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
postgresql-7.2.2 is currently only available for x86. Sparc and ppc will |
| 48 |
be available when it's been tested on these archs. |
