More may (will) come later. I want to thank every package builder for
this great number of supported platforms. Support for Red Hat 9, RHEL
2.1 and Fedora Core 1 may be completely abandoned in future releases.
Please let us know if you can assist us in building RPMS of missing Red
Hat / Fedora Core platforms.
For complete list of changes in RPM sets, please refer to the changelogs
in the RPMs. Use
rpm -q -changelog package_name
for querying the changelog.
Point releases generally do not require a dump/reload from the previous
Point, but please see the Release Notes to confirm procedures for
upgrading, especially if your current version is older than the last
point release.
For RPMs 8.1.3, we again included the PDF documentation into the -docs
RPMs.
The SRPMs are also provided. Please note that we have one SRPM for all
platforms.
We also have a howto document about RPM installation of PostgreSQL:
http://pgfoundry.org/docman/?group_id=1000048
Please follow the instructions before installing/upgrading.
Almost each RPM has been signed by the builder, and each directory
contains CURRENT_MAINTAINER file which includes the name/email of the
package builder and link to their PGP key.

requests, please join
