Broken 1.8.2 source tar ball?

Hi all,

I'm solving problem with pgadmin tarball it contains ??_?? in i18n directory.
This directory is empty, but it generates problem with ksh93.

Is it possible to rewrap it or release 1.8.3?

        thanks Zdenek

1.8.3 should probably be released soon, but I'm not going to rewrap
1.8.2. Can you see what caused the problem?

Didn't we have a similar issue in the main backend, that was due to a
broken version of "tar"? Any chance you are using a broken version of
tar to unpack it, or if a broken version of tar was used to pack it?

pga 1.8.2 is integrated into OpenSolaris SFW repository and some command/script
has problem when works with this repository (in ksh93). Probably some extra
quoting is necessary. I don't have details yet, I contacted submitter, but he is
in different TZ. I can fix it with rm after unpacking, but better solution is
put new tarbal into repository.

What soon exactly mean? I think I can wait one or two weeks.

No, I mean what caused the problem when the tarball was generated? The
file is in there:

drwxrwxrwx dpage/dpage       0 2008-02-01 09:26 pgadmin3-1.8.2/i18n/
drwxrwxrwx dpage/dpage       0 2008-02-01 09:26 pgadmin3-1.8.2/i18n/??_??/
drwxrwxrwx dpage/dpage       0 2008-02-01 09:27 pgadmin3-1.8.2/i18n/af_ZA/

I just don't have time to investigate right now. From memory, ??_?? is
the wildcard used to package up the i18n directories, but I don't see
offhand why tar would include it as a directory itself.

Unknown at the moment. I'm pretty busy right now. Possibly next week.

The problem with backend was a length of PATH. This is real content. I try two
version of tar (solaris and gnu) and both generate same result.

I think we're misunderstanding each other here. The ??_?? directory
*is* in the tarball. I see it on the build machine. The question is,
why is it there - is there something wrong with the makefile?

If I simply re-roll (or release 1.8.3) I see no reason to think that
the same problem won't exist in that too.
