Right, we have 3.5.X for every PostgreSQL release.

We keep n-2 releases, where n is the latest stable minor version.

Unfortunately no, but you can build your own RPMs pretty much easily. You can
get tarball from pgpool.net, and grab spec file from our git repo:
https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=pgrpms.git

Then, just modify the version in spec file and build the packages.

An old but almost up2date guide is here:

Please let us know if you need more help.
