Key Takeaway

PostgreSQL's main RPM repository no longer serves RHEL 10.0 and 9.6, directing users to the YUM archive or newer minor releases.

Summary

The PostgreSQL PGDG RPM repository has retired its RHEL 10.0 and RHEL 9.6 repositories, moving them to the PostgreSQL YUM archive. Rolling EL-10 and EL-9 repository RPMs remain unaffected. Users still on these specific minor releases, including Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux derivatives, must either upgrade to a newer minor release or switch to the archived repositories, which will not receive further updates.

What administrators need to do

Affected versions: RHEL 10.0 and 9.6, plus equivalent Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux releases
Unaffected: Rolling EL-10 and EL-9 repository RPMs continue to work
Archive location: https://yum.postgresql.org/repopackages/#archivedrepos
Archive contents: All PostgreSQL major versions built for these minor releases, including PostgreSQL 18
No further updates: Archived repositories are frozen
Support channels: pgsql-pkg-yum@lists.postgresql.org or the issue tracker

Why it matters

This reflects standard lifecycle management for enterprise Linux minor releases, but requires action from administrators who pin to specific minor versions rather than using rolling repositories.
