You can, if you wish. Jeff gave me the bindist/RPM directory, and
symlinked the RPMS and SRPMS tree of yours into the bindist/RPM/RPMS and
bindist/RPM/SRPMS directories, respectively. The links on the download
and news pages will have to be changed when you do so -- which is why I
suggested to Jeff that he symlink, so that links wouldn't be broken.
Future download links for the RPMs should point to bindist/RPM, IMO.
I have already found some other annoyances with the RPMs -- on upgrading
the server subpackage, a chkconfig --del is performed -- but a
corresponding chkconfig --add is not performed, thus removing postgresql
from being autostarted. I think a change in the behavior to leave well
enough alone if upgrading, and do the chkconfig --del only if this is an
uninstall would be appropriate. I got bit with this on my production
server -- not fun.
