How do I find out who is the maintainer of the php-pgsql package, please?
that would be redhat.
I want to request upgrade from underlying postgresql-libs-8.1.21 (/usr/lib64/libpq.so.4) to postgresql84-libs-8.4.4 (/usr/lib64/libpq.so.5.2).
not unless redhat upgrades, something they aren't likely to do, although they might backport the fix for this leak.
Background on this request: Apache httpd's php's php-pgsql uses PostgreSQL 8.1 library (/usr/lib64/libpq.so.4), which leaks memory. PostgreSQL 8.4 library does not leak.
Apache HTTP Server: httpd-2.2.3-43.el5.centos.3 mod_php: php-5.1.6-27.el5 PHP PostgreSQL interface is provided by: php-pgsql-5.1.6-27.el5,which uses postgresql-libs-8.1.21-1.el5_5.1 which provides /usr/lib64/libpq.so.4 which we've observed has a memory leak (and this memory leak is NOT present in libpq.so.5.2)
I am trying to figure out how to get our httpd/mod_php/php-pgsql to use libpq.so.5.2 instead of libpq.so.4, and I thought I'd start by asking the php-pgsql maintainer, so this problem is fixed for everybody, not just for me.
use the Postgres 8.4 RPMs from http://yum.pgrpms.org/ along with the compat-postgresql-libs package (from the same repository), which hooks the libpq.so.4 stuff that the stock EL5 clients like php-pgsql use.
