Dump your database first. Then, download the Fedora Core RPMs from
ftp.postgresql.org, in /pub/binary/v7.4/fedora/fedora-core-1. Do an rpm -U
on the ones that's currently installed. Then restore your dump. You may
want to keep a set of the original RPMs around in case you run into trouble,
so that you can revert to the older version with --oldpackage.
A yum repository for a single set of packages? I guess I could do that,
though... But as soon as I set up the yum stuff someone will want an apt
setup.... :-)
