 Thanks for this info. I had just completed a --rebuild on RH 7.1 and
 planned to  do the same on 6.2, but I guess I'd rather wait a few
 days. 

Note that most 6.2 systems already have a new version, as both 3.0.5
and 4.0.2 have been released at erratas at different times.

But beforwarned that if you build the package on rpm 3.0.5, the machines
with previous versions of RPM will not be able to install that RPM. So you
will have to upgrade all of your machines (and also install a couple of
libraries, ie. popt and something else or the other). (correct me if I'm
wrong here...)

Well,the upgrade to 3.0.5 isn't a problem.  Personally, I won't upgrade my 
6.2 box to RPM4 -- but that is a personal choice having a lot to do with the

RPM release of PostgreSQL built on this machine.

Upgrading to 3.0.5 should be completely painless.  You do need the new 
'rpm-build' package, though, or you won't be able to rebuild.
