It seems that you are right, and I don't understand how they can stop
releasing important updates as RHEL4 is still supported.

I've done that on 10 Nov 2009 and they're working perfectly. No autovac
crashes since then.
RedHat is very conservative concerning pgsql as my small table shows:

RHEL/CentOS 4.x 5.x
pgsql default 7.4 8.1
pgsql RHWAS 8.1 8.2

So I'm feeling very happy at the moment using your yum repositories and are
thinking about using an even more recent postgresql version in the future.
Is 8.4.1 ready for production or is it advisable to wait for one or two
updates?

tnx,
boris
