Description Patrick Lauer gentoo-dev

Upstream has ceased support of 9.2 in September.

We should mask and remove with the next general version bump

9.2.23, the most recent release, hasn't yet been stabilized.

Should we stabilize it first then mask it on the next security release, or just mask it now?

Comment 2 Patrick Lauer gentoo-dev

Since it's EOL upstream I see no point in stabilizing that version.

All users should upgrade to something less than 5 years old.

I've masked <dev-db/postgresql-9.3

I had to revert https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=8cede80a3616 due to repository breakage:

[INFO] checking package dev-db/slony1
  dependency.bad [fatal]
   dev-db/slony1/slony1-2.1.3.ebuild: DEPEND: amd64(default/linux/amd64/13.0)
['dev-db/postgresql:9.2[server]']


So looks like you need to stabilize a newer dev-db/slony1 ebuild before you can proceed with postgresql EOL removal.

Rverted via https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=47c54452b32551b298260814647693a23dbe9b9a
