[csw-users] New postgresql packages (8.0.3)

[Mark Round]

Hi all,

There are new postgresql packages available, and should be making
their way out to the mirrors now. These are the 8.0.3 packages, and
correct a number of bugs, including some apparently severe security
issues.

Upgrading from the previous 8.0.1 packages will not involve a dump and
reload, but you will need to perform some additional steps to fix the
security holes - more information is available on the PostgreSQL web
site : http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.315

If you are upgrading from an earlier 7.3.x series, you will need to do
a dump and reload, but as long as you upgrade straight to these 8.0.3
packages, no additional changes are needed.

As with the previous unreleased blastwave packages of 8.0.2, 8.0.3
breaks binary compatibility, and all the major libraries have had
their version numbers incremented. For compatibility purposes, the
libraries from 8.0.1 (which were the last not to break compatibility)
have been included, and symlinks set up in /opt/csw/lib as
appropriate. This means all your applications should still continue to
run unchanged.
