Hi all

I think most of the content at the page

http://yum.postgresql.org/howtoyum.php

is now obsolete and can be removed.

All that should really be required now that RHEL 4 is dead and
unsupported is to say:

"Find your distro release, architecture, and desired PostgreSQL version
in the [Repo RPMs list], download the RPM and install it. You can
usually simply open it from your browser, but if that fails, copy the
URL and use yum to install it, e.g.:

sudo yum install
http://yum.postgresql.org/9.4/fedora/fedora-20-x86_64/pgdg-fedora94-9.4-1.noarch.rpm

Now, to install the PostgreSQL 9.4 server:

sudo yum check-update
sudo yum install postgresql94-server

then read /usr/share/doc/postgresql94/README.rpm-dist for where to go
from here.
"

(BTW, we shouldn't need all these different repo packages. A simple
pgdg-9.4-fedora.rpm and pgdg-9.4-rhel.rpm should be sufficient. Arch,
release, etc are handled by $variables in the baseurl).
