like to help get these up to date in any way I can. I can maintain postgres and related packages if necessary.
Common way to upgrade a package for bare user is to attach a updated PKGBUILD. CC the maintener is good too.
This package look like it simply need to be "version bumped". I've just made the following change, and everything have compiled fine. pkgver=8.3.7 => pkgver=8.4.0 pkgrel=3 => pkgrel=1

In order to pass dependency check, postgresql-libs need to be updated too. You can find the PKGBUILD in abs.
postgresql 8.4 has a soname bump. You'll also need to rebuild all packages that depends on it (or on postgresql-libs). That's why it's taking time to have the update in the repo.
