# print a list of PostgreSQL versions that are supported for the platform this
# script runs on.
# Note: Newer installed versions than the highest one listed here are always
# considered supported, so that backports will not cause an "obsolete" warning.
#
# /usr/share/postgresql-common/supported-versions decides which PostgreSQL
# server versions are supported. This information is used
# 1) for notifying users of obsolete versions, suggesting to upgrade
# 2) by postgresql-common itself (in debian/rules) to determine the
#    dependencies of the postgresql meta packages (default version), and to
#    generate the list of postgresql-server-dev-* packages
#    postgresql-server-dev-all depends on
# 3) by the pg_buildext tool to decide which server versions to build extension
#    modules for
#
# The *last* version returned here will be considered the default version, the
# remaining lines list other supported versions in an undefined order.
#
# * PG_SUPPORTED_VERSIONS
# * DEB_PG_SUPPORTED_VERSIONS
# * ~/.pg_supported_versions
# * /etc/postgresql-common/supported_versions
# (in that order) can be used to override the defaults. (Tokens separated by
# newlines.)
#
# Recognized tokens:
# default: use the appropiate defaults for the current distribution and release
#          (as determined by os-release or lsb_release)
# debian [release]: use Debian defaults
# debian-backports [release]: use Debian Backports defaults
# ubuntu [release]: use Ubuntu defaults
# pgdg [release]: use defaults for apt.postgresql.org
# installed: consider all installed versions supported (determined by
#            postgresql-server-dev-X.Y packages)
# X.Y: consider this version supported
