[postgis-users] Fedora 18: PostGIS/Postgresql interoperability

[Max Pyziur]

Greetings,

Fedora 18 was released w/ Postgresql 9.2.x and PostGIS 1.5.x

As (I guess) it is known PostGIS 1.5.x won't work on Postgresql 9.2.

However, there haven't been any production PostGIS 2.0.- RPMs released; 
however, there are some in testing. You also have to install the GDAL and 
GRASS RPMs that are in testing.

Thanks to previous replies, I've downloaded those F18 PostGIS 2.0 rpms and 
they function. I have don't a complete test, but I've migrated my 
spatialized databases to Postgresql 9.2/PostGIS 2.0 and using both psql 
and Quantum GIS I can access my projects.

However, there are still some issues, two of which that affect me.
1 - when doing a generalized "yum update" (to check for updates) I get the 
following message:
root at mercury ~> yum update

  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
  You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

So, there are potential problems based on different versions of 
gdal, grass, and postgis.

2 - there was no postgis-jdbc 2.0 released for testing for Fedora 18;
That makes using something like OpenJUMP (Open Java Unified Mapping 
Program) not useable. (I use both Q-GIS and OpenJUMP).

Any sense of when there could be a postgis-jdbc 2.0.x package available?

Much thanks to all,
