v4.2.1 PG 13 Obsolete

[Vonng]

A maintenance release that adds 3 new extensions.

Major Changes

• New Extensions: pg_eviltransform is added to the GIS package group, pg_pinyin to the FTS group, and pg_qos to the admin group — all for PG 14–18.
• PG13 Removed: All pgdg13, pgdg13-nonfree repo entries and PG13 package aliases (pg13-*) are removed from every platform variant (EL7/8/9/10, Debian 12/13, Ubuntu 22/24, both x86_64 and aarch64).
• Config templates (fat.yml, pro.yml, dev.yml, el.yml, debian.yml) no longer reference PG13 packages or repos. Extension version comments are updated to reflect PG 14–18 coverage only.
• Percona Repo: Origin URL updated from ppg-18.1 to ppg-18.3 to track the latest Percona PostgreSQL distribution.
• Nginx Repo: Module tag for the Nginx upstream APT repo corrected from infra to nginx on Debian/Ubuntu platforms.
• UV Venv Fix: roles/node/tasks/pkg.yml now checks for an existing virtualenv before running uv venv, preventing redundant re-creation and potential errors on re-provisioning.
• Docker Image: less is added to the Pigsty Docker image base packages.
• Demo Config: Default firewall rules in el.yml and debian.yml demo configs now include port 5432 for direct PostgreSQL access.

Compatibility Notes

PostgreSQL 13 reached its end of life on 2025-11-13.
The PGDG YUM repository has archived and removed the pg13 / pg12 directories.
If you install Pigsty on EL systems (even without using PG 13), repo access failures may cause installation or update errors.

You can either upgrade directly to Pigsty v4.2.1, or manually edit the repo_upstream_default variable in your corresponding OS file under roles/node_id/vars/ and remove the pg13 repo line.

Additionally, EL8 remains in the Pigsty compatible OS list, but starting from this release, offline packages for EL8 will no longer be published.

No other breaking API or configuration changes in this release.
