Not really true for opensuse at example because there you have to compile it too if you want version 8.2.3. For Opensuse 10.1 which runs on my server i can see that their last rpm update of postgres is from 30-May-2006. Redhat is okay because you can step to the newer version and have compat libs for backward compatibility to older apps. And i am not really sure that a debian without any other sources will have any newer version number of postgres. So i would say that they all cook only with water.-) As you i like the Arch more because the building of own packages is very easy and so i find it okay that arch stays with 8.1.x ... okay, it would be good idea to step to 8.1.8 in the next time. At last i want to thank JJDaNiMoTh for the nice information about security announcements here on this list.
