RE: apt-get source postgres
The reason why i need to use 7.1.3 is that it takes about 2 weeks to change the sql queries to
be able to run against 7.2. And i believe it takes less time to compile a 7.1.3 version and get
it running on woody. I know there is a lot of improvements in 7.2 but it's not my deceision to
stick with 7.1.x for this application.
Anyway i received the .dsc and .diff file for potato 7.1.3 and i have compiled it successfully
so now i am going into the testing phase to make sure it work properly.
Regards Jonas

Hmmm, not even snapshots.debian.net has 7.1.3 pkgs, from what I can see.
Are you sure you don't want to upgrade the application? 7.2 has
improvements and bugfixes (a few of them quite important), so if your
application should run for some time it would probably be worth it.
You could try mailing the postgres pkg maintainer, I'm sure he has some
backups.
