Yes - we're aware that there are newer versions of PostgreSQL out there.  If
it were completely up to us we would be using 8.2.18 or even 8.4.  The
problem is - we need to install on a network that has a rather involved
approval process for all software tools that are introduced.  8.2.3 was
previously approved.  Getting a newer version of PostgreSQL approved would
probably take time that we do not have given the time-critical nature of our
effort.

wow, thats pretty messed up. so you're exposed to 3+ years of security exposures and data corruption bugs, and can't install sub-version updates without going through a major approval process?

Is 8.2.3 still available anywhere on the PostgreSQL site?  I couldn't find
it.

it appears the ftp-archive site is down.

was that approval for a specific binary distribution? or just a blanket approval for anything you compile from the 8.2.3 sources?
