That was sort of my point. I currently have a 7.3 installation for which I have my own patches applied, for tsearch2, and for which I run my own CVS of the cpntrob module. It seems this module isn't maintained in the community, what with it being a 7.4 thing really. My company is the sys. admin., DBA and DB developer for the project, except for the production server sys. admin.. These mods weren't applied because the client was asking for them but because I knew the faults existed, even though the project wasn't kicking them. Does that mean I have supplied Logictree Systems PostgreSQL? PostgreSQL with Logictree Systems TSearch2? And if I'd made no modifications to the code? I suppose I could have insisted that a separate contract be taken for the supply and support on top of the app. development contract.
