Hello all,

PostgreSQL 8.3 has been released. I updated my Windows RC2 to the
release version and am satisfied that it is working well for our
purposes. The 8.3 adds the UUID datatype which is our logical primary
key type and which we have been faking until now with bytea columns.

Now I would like to upgrade my production servers which are Debian
servers already running version 8.1.x or in one case 8.2.x. I would be
glad to uninstall these if there would be a postgresql-8.3.deb package
somewhere. However, I have not been able to find this anywhere yet.

I could probably try to build the sources on the server myself. However,
what are the steps I have to take with my current installations and
databases and what do I have to do to have stuff like
/etc/init.d/postgresql etc. setup just as it is now?

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards,

Silvio Bierman
