The decision to choose the latest is based on whether or not there is a dash (-) in the filename. (Line 169 of pkg_fetch). As a result, Postgresql74-server sets latest to false. =20 Postgresql74 sets latest to true, however there is no such thing as postgresql74 in packages, it is either -client or -server, etc. I think the author was intending to use the - to indicate the beginning of a version number, but that logic is somewhat flawed given the package naming conventions.
