Dear CentOS developers
I would like to have ask some questions about the PostgreSQL and PHP packages in the current Testing repository for CentOS 5.
In http://wiki.centos.org/QaWiki/TestingRepo there is a note, that the testing period is about 3 weeks. Currently, the PostgreSQL and PHP packages in http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/SRPMS were created in September 08.
Do the developers need more feedback about the packages in testing? Is there something (a wiki page, a ticket in the bug tracker or something else) where the feedback can be collected?
Is there a testing plan for the packages (works with this and that software, upgrade from base works)?
What is the best way I can help? Simply sending feedback to the ML?
Is there a kind of policy for the upstream version, something like: version is expected to be in the next major Red Hat release, must be part of Upstream Web Stack or another Upstream product. Casting this to a concrete question: Can upgrades to PHP 5.2.8 or PostgreSQL 8.2.11 be expected to happen.
And is there already a concrete plan to move those 2 packages to Plus [http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/centosplus/%5D?
Regards and thank you for this great distribution. The more I work with it the more I like it.

I've tried the packaged on our development server, an Opteron server with a curent CentOS5-x86_64 installation with 9 GB of postgresql data, a good part of which geografical data.
Basically, until now everything runs as expected. No problems with the selected packages.
