I've built packages for postgres 8.4 using the latest pljava CVS. These 
were built on ubuntu lucid, so they match the current postgres version 
there (8.4.4). I have no easy way to test them on an earlier distro. 
These just install the .jar and the .so, so proper configuration of the 
postgresql server is still necessary.

If you're still offering a bounty... ;)

Enjoy,
Lucas

Resources are often a problem with smaller open source projects.  What sort of funding do you think is required to get PG8.4 support?  Are you (or any other developer of this list) in a position to implement this for a bounty?
