Tom,

That is correct. I was hoping for the official RHEL packages. I think I'll 
instead put our efforts towards upgrading to 9.2 and using the 
yum.postgresql.org repo to do so. I was hoping for some interim patches before 
we upgrade, but that is not going to happen. Time to just do the upgrade!

Thank you for the help in figuring this one out.

Regards,
John

I suppose he's asking about the official RHEL packages, which indeed are only 
at 8.4.13.  The right way to make something happen there would be to pester his 
Red Hat support contact.

(Although really, since RHEL5 is now in production phase 2 which means it only 
gets critical updates, nothing is very likely to happen until a security bug 
comes along that RH's security team deem sufficiently interesting.  This 
morning's releases aren't likely to get that done, since the high-dollar 
problem isn't in 8.4.  If you want newer packages it's probably time to move to 
RHEL6.)

                        regards, tom lane
