Possible to Install Postgresql 9.5

@AudioDan24 Hello again. Re:

@AudioDan24

I’ve now activated it and I’m currently updating to the most recent version.

As you are currently on our CentOS based offering the testing channel is unfortunately no longer updated. So that only gets you 4 month worth of updates on from the ISO leaving the Rockstor package at 3.9.1-16 which is still 2 year 4 months out of date. But the rest of the system will have updated. On from there for a couple of years we only did Stable Channel releases but that has change recently as we move towards being openSUSE based. The docs link I posted in my last post references this:

@phillxnet

Our Update Channels documentation section should help here. And if you still have a question then it may help with us improving that doc section.

And the other link I referenced in that same post further details the background to this. And it doesn’t help that our Web-UI in these older versions failed to adequately link back to our docs either. So yes it does, back there, indicate that you would be running latest. But you are not. This however has also been improved upon and the language and links are now much better so in our next ISO release this should all be much clearer. These language and link improvements were mainly added:

by me in 3.9.2-52 via:

• improve/add update channel/appman related text and doc links. Fixes #2106 @phillxnet

and by @Celtis in 3.9.2-53 by via:

• Remove ‘latest’ from the Rockstor version message. Fixes #2115 @jonpwilson

With the latter addressing a similarly raised ‘latest’ misleading text issue raised by forum member @ednt.

So by the time we are done with our linux distro re-base (CentOS to openSUSE) we will again have dual Stable and Testing Channels active on a single distro base. But we are not quite there yet.

So in short you actually need to subscribe to the Stable Channel updates, but as you have already subscribed to testing you will now have been affected by a bug there where you can no long return to Stable effectively (ISO releases were based on Stable Channel releases); although it will appear to have worked it will not actually have installed the stated version.

So in short you need to read the following short forum post on moving back to Stable from testing.

To all Stable Channel subscribers

Just a friendly reminder that our last and now old CentOS based testing channel had a rather deceitful bug. If you updated to Stable from 3.9.1-16 (last available CentOS based testing release), you have likely been affected by this issue. But if you subscribed to Stable directly from our last iso install, or a prior Stable channel install then you are likely not affected. Essentially this bug would cause available version to be displayed as installed version within the Web-UI. If you have sub…

This does not apply if you went straight to Stable from the ISO install as then you are remaining on more curated releases.

All a bit higgledy-piggledy I know but we are now very close to a re-launch of sorts where things will again become very simple. We are towards the end of a 3 year transition with all the associated baggage.

Hope that helps and if there is a problem with Subscribing to the Stable Channel then please contact me via PM (Private Message) here on the forum and I can hopefully get you sorted so we can move forward with sorting out this Postgresql 9.5 Rock-on that will hopefully fulfil you specific need.
