The repo server needs the pkg client to report the statistics. They do
not get calculated on the repository. The repo server does not care much
for the client Version as the API, they communicate over has been stable
and is versioned.
One could count the hits to the files from Webserver logs, but we can
only track total installations of a particular manifest (package
description file).
The Package is called postgres not postgresql.
Searching by posgres shows the packages
pkg search -rp postgres
PACKAGE PUBLISHER
pkg:/database/postgres-common@9.5.24-2020.0.1.0 openindiana.org
pkg:/service/database/postgres-10@10.16-2020.0.1.0 openindiana.org
pkg:/service/database/postgres-11@11.10-2020.0.1.0 openindiana.org
pkg:/service/database/postgres-12@12.5-2020.0.1.0 openindiana.org
pkg:/service/database/postgres-95@9.5.24-2020.0.1.0 openindiana.org
pkg:/service/database/postgres-96@9.6.20-2020.0.1.0 openindiana.org
I agree that the statistics will help, but for postgres we are outdated
compared to most other conservative distros even.

Color me confused. Which server and which client are you talking about?
I was referring to the IPS repository and it is not going to care about
the age of a client.
I'm running 2017.10 on this system and can't install much, if anything,
any more. Not sure if there is a way to do it, but with a new system on
the way and my normal habit of building from source so I can debug if
needed it's moot.
The only pkg I can find using "pkg search postgresql" before 10.x is
pkg: /database/postgres-96/mysql_fdw@2.5.3-2020.0.1.0
However, I don't use Postgres despite compiling it quite a few times. It
just never fit something I needed to do. So it's likely that this is a
more nuanced question than I thought.
But collecting install statistics on the repository servers seems to me
an important tool for allocating manpower.

Hi Reg
Unfortunately it does not. It never got that feature added.
It is a point for possible feature to add, but as many people are still
running old versions of the client, it will take quite a long time for
the statistics to get traction.
