I want to install PostgreSQL but I'm wondering which package to use. |
2 |
The obvious choice (dev-db/postgresql) installs 8.2.7 but |
3 |
dev-db/postgresql-server installs 8.3.5. (I see they even use the same |
4 |
tarball.) Is postgresql-server is the proper way going forward? |

|
6 |
What about virtual/postgresql-server? Should I prefer that over |
7 |
dev-db/postgresql-server? |
8 |

9 |
Why do we even have a virtual? I thought they were for adding a |
10 |
service if you don't care which specific package supplies it. |
