From: Ben Shum Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2011 22:51:32 +0000 (-0400) Subject: Change PostgreSQL 9 source for Ubuntu Lucid users. X-Git-Url: https://old-git.evergreen-ils.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1cf08413dd2c14e2b2cdd6d56aeaca93926a7a97;p=evergreen%2Ftadl.git Change PostgreSQL 9 source for Ubuntu Lucid users. Currently, Ubuntu Lucid does not have backport options for PostgreSQL 9. Instead, most community members who use Lucid have been using Martin Pitt's PPA as an external repository source.
