They are.  See 
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/binary/v7.4/redhat/redhat-6.2/postgresql-7.4-0.4PGDG.src.rpm

Sander hosts his own site; and that's OK.  I did the same back when I first

upload.

If you'll hold off a few days both 7.4.1 and 7.3.5 RPMs are due to be 
released.  At that point building on various distributions and setting up
