I run Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, and their latest version is called:

gnupg-1.4.5-14

When RHEL5 first came out, it came with gnupg-1.4.5-12.

What Red Hat try to do is never change the main release (in this case 1.4.5)
so as to guarantee that a program will always work with the rest of the
distribution. They keep the user interface and the programmer interface and
the binary interface the same throughout the life of a release (in this
case, RHEL5). They do backport security fixes and bug fixes as they come by.
It is just that their release numbers do not go up as fast as others.
