Thread: pg_upgrade
I have enabled /contrib/pg_upgrade and added a mention in the README that it is lightly tested. I have not received any testing reports since I finished it earlier this week. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026
I just downloaded postgresql-7.2b5.tar.gz from http://developer.postgresql.org/beta.php. It seems the file is actually not gzipped, just tarred. -rwxr--r-- 1 root cvs 37734400 Jan 18 11:22 postgresql-7.2b5.tar.gz # tar -xzvf postgresql-7.2b5.tar.gz gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors Joe

I'm wondering if your browser "helpfully" decompressed it as it came in (which might have been actually somewhat helpful, if it changed the filename, too ...) regards, tom lane

I've been bit by that before.

Sure enough, looks like Mozilla *was* trying to be helpful. It turns out if you hold down <shift> while clicking on the link (to prevent trying to view a file in the browser instead of downloading) then the file gets automatically uncompressed. If you click the link without <shift>ing, the compressed file comes down as is. Sorry for crying wolf! Joe

Please tell me that works with the php sources. I had it at one point but can't find the trick. Quite often I need to download php to a machine that doesn't have lynx and is not local.
