Still, there's not normally that much difference between the packaging for one version and for the next. I can't imagine that it would take much time to throw together a package for 8.3 plr based on what you're using for 8.2. All modern package-based distros make this pretty easy. The only reason not to do it would be if you're buying support from a vendor who will only support specific package versions... regards, tom lane
