Hi,
PostgreSQL RPM Building Project released RPM sets for 3rd Alpha of the
upcoming 8.5 release.
Please note that these packages are **not** production ready. They are
for Fedora 7,8,9,11,12 and RHEL/CentOS 4,5.
These packages *do* require a dump/reload, even from the second alpha
packages, because of catversion updates.
We need more people to discover any bugs and test new features in 8.5
development version.
Here is the list of the new features in 8.5 development version:

This RPM set has new experimental feature that has been requested for a
long time: Multiple version installation for RPMs. We also need
volunteers to test this new RPM feature.
As usual, please find detailed info about RPMs from:

A mini howto about 8.5 alpha release + RPMs are here:

Please report any packaging related errors to me. If you find any
PostgreSQL 8.5 bugs, please post them to pgsql-bugs@PostgreSQL.org or
fill out this form:
