Concept idea. Also was originally writing bin symlinks but now trying out a
PG_VERSION
environment variable kind of like how Java tools useJAVA_HOME
.For rationale, we had some requests to automatically provide binaries on PATH; however, there are problems for users who may not be familiar with the behavior of PostgreSQL data migrations.
This meta formula provides the symlinks for advanced users who are aware of limitations and want to track latest PostgreSQL.
The main issue with prior
postgresql
name (which still exists renaming topostgresql@14
) is that we have users that don't want their PostgreSQL to break onbrew upgrade
. Sadly the generic name and external sites may result in users runningbrew install postgresql
.The hope is that a separate name and the caveats will provide sufficient info this formula is only for specific users. May also expand caveat to add a "Do not open issues ..." message relating to DB migration.
