#520: postgis install script triggers "obsolete major version 8.3" message
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
Reporter:  camerons            |       Owner:  live-demo at lists.osgeo.org
    Type:  defect              |      Status:  new                      
Priority:  normal              |   Component:  LiveDVD                  
Keywords:  3.0-alpha3 postgis  |  
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 In building the 3.0-alpha3 version of the liveDVD, I'm getting the
 following query come up (which requires acknowledgement). It comes up in
 the install_postgres.sh script.

 How do you suggest this should be handled? Should we be updating the
 LiveDVD install script for Postgres to a later version?
 Could I tempt you to update the LiveDVD install script?
 https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/install_postgres.sh
 (current version is r2716)

 Issue 1: Should we upgrade to a later version of posgres?
 Issue 2: Please ensure the user is not prompted for a response during the
 build process and we wish this to be automated.
