Yes, that would be great. I need to write an RPM installation guide,
and the web page could point to that eventually. In the meantime, how
about something like:

  RedHat RPMs for v6.5.1 on i386 machines are now available at
    ftp://postgresql.org/pub/RPMS/
  Please report any questions or problems to
    mailto:pgsql-ports@postgresql.org

  Note that a dump/reload is not necessary if you already have v6.5
RPMs
  installed. Just
  o shut down your v6.5 server
  o do an "rpm -Uvh *.rpm"
  o restart and you're ready to go.

  If you are upgrading from an earlier version, do the following:
  o before upgrading, do a "pg_dumpall > file.dumpall"
  o move /var/lib/pgsql aside (e.g. rename to /var/lib/pgsql-6.4.2)
  o upgrade or install the RPMs using "rpm -Uvh *.rpm"
  o run initdb, setting PGDATA appropriately
  o restart the new backend server
  o do a "psql < file.dumpall"
