Hi
Thanks for you comments.
About your requirements, yes we do not have all sub versions and we have not updated old versions recently.
However, we have a Jenkins environment available in our BullFreeware lab that we are using already for several other packages, smaller and simpler than PostgreSQL. This Jenkins environment automatically checks for new version or new sub-version, downloads them, does appropriate changes, runs build and tests, and then publishes on our Web-site.
So I think that it should not be very difficult for us to finalize the changes required to enable PostgreSQL versions (9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and soon 14, if I understand well) to be automatically built by our Jenkins as soon as they are made available by the PostgreSQL community.
For versions 11, 12, 13, and soon 14, we have improved our PostgreSQL RPM .spec file so that few more work is required.
For version 9 and 10, we'll have to back port some changes we did recently, but it's not rocket science. Just let me know if v9 and v10 are required to be maintained by us.

It doesn't mean we need to continue to exacerbate the situation by
linking to downloads that we have little control over.
For example, what happens when the external downloads are unavailable?
We had a recent incident where this exact scenario happened. There are
now some reporting mechanisms in place to handle that scenario, but
ultimately it comes back to "PostgreSQL is unavailable for download."

IIRC we had left that up so we could sunset it and provide "forwarding
information." Given it's been ~1 year, we could likely remove it.
