# PostgreSQL moves RHEL 10.0 and 9.6 repositories to archive

> **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.
