Re: [ppa-dev] Releasing PPA 5.0 beta

[Alexey B. <ale...@gm...>]

Hello Guillaume,

There is one reason not to support EOLed versions *officially*: we
should test all PPA code on them, so it leads to an additional testing
effort.

Additionally, all users with old PostgreSQL versions can use old
versions of PPA, can't they?

So, the question is: should we test 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1?

BTW, who is Dave?
