do these pkgs maintain upgrade path from 2.7.x series installs via rpm
I don't know.
I'm not sure I like the idea of an rpm install/upgrade operating directly on a (production) database.
For what it's worth, the PostgreSQL 8.1 RPMs will not upgrade a previous RPM based install, either. You would have found the way previous PostgreSQL RPMs attempted to do upgrades less than warm and fuzzy, too. I know I didn't find them to be warm and fuzzy (and I wrote the procedure!).
