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,
