Since that isn't a seamless process, I'm sure they want an upgrade to be a conscious decision. That being said, the current upgrade path involves switching from the <code>dev-db/postgresql</code> package to the <code>dev-db/postgresql-base</code>/<code>dev-db/postgresql-server</code>packages.</span></blockquote>

does anyone know of any problems with postgis in postgresql 8.1.11 ?<br>
I'm using postgis 1.3.1 in postgresql 8.1.11<br>
<br>
uname says:<br>
Linux lead 2.6.24-gentoo-r4 #1 SMP Sat Apr 5 18:42:58 SAST 2008 i686<br>
Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux<br>
<br>
The reason I ask is that Gentoo's package management system (portage)<br>
wanted to downgrade postgres to 8.0.15...<br>
I assume this is because postgis was tested by the gentoo maintainers<br>
on postgres 8.0.15 only, but I'm a bit concerned that there may be<br>
some problem they spotted in the 8.1 database.<br>
Can anyone confirm that postgis 1.3.1 is actually totally stable in<br>
postgresql 8.1.11 ?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Brian<br>
