When you say "forces upgrades" what do you mean?
I might do things differently- I download the tarball, compile, dump and restore
my system. I've never have Postgres **not** compile on my Slackware boxes but
I've had **tons** of issues with RPM disto's (I've consulted on RedHat &
Mandrake personally) with even smaller packages things so I don't use it much.
Seems to me you should **always** be able to compile software.
