>Description:
I'm no ruby expert, but the logic looks dubious to me.
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.
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.
>How-To-Repeat:
pkg_fetch -v databases/postgresql74-server
>Fix:
Need to change logic to decided when to use All or Latest directory of packages directory on remote site.
