you are talking about the debian home page right?
then we should not use that for live.....
so i prefer 8.1 .........
Debian selected the version of Postgres for Etch about a year and a half
ago. At that point selecting 8.1 was a resonable choice.
Debian has a policy that they will never change the version number of a
package in a stable release (they will backport many bugfixes, but not
upgrade the version)
As a result 2 years from now when Postgres is on 8.5 stable (and looking
at 8.6), Debian Etch will still be on 8.1
I like that with debian I can install multiple postgres versions and it
handles everything for me :) Changing the default port, config files are
in different folders, different start up scripts.. all works very nicely :)
Which means you can have 8.1 installed and 8.3 installed at the same
time - both from packages, no compiling etc necessary - and can switch
between them very easily.
