Fedora/Red Hat distro RPMs a only binary compatible since last year.

This might be one of the options. However, as compared to Fedora RPMs, we don't offer upgrade path. Fedora RPMs have a service (or systemctl... whatever) postgresql upgrade option. So, an upgrade path could be: * Replace current packages with PGDG packages. Please note that data directory of 9.0 will be under /var/lib/pgsql/9.0, not /var/lib/pgsql. * Make sure that db is working. * Now, install 9.1 in parallel. * Perform upgrade using pg_upgrade or pg_dump. * Start 9.1 > - Wait for the 9.1 packages to appear in the Fedora Core repo? Fedora will release 9.1 in F-16. Fedora 15 won't have 9.1.
