the main benefit would be to have this s/w in a yum repository - and to
have it updated for bug fix's and security updates ( perhaps not as
much or as fast as the core pkgs would be - but you will not be left
dangling with these pkgs either )

Excellent!
Upload the .src.rpm's somewhere on the net and drop an email here to the
list. What we might also need, along with this package, is the entire
pgsql rpm set - so that people can just enable the repl, and yum update
to pgsql 8.
