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.

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.

postgresql-7.2b5.tar.gz

# tar -xzvf postgresql-7.2b5.tar.gz

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1

Sure your browser didn't do you a favor and ungzip it?  I've been bit
by that before.

The file is certainly gzipped on the FTP server.  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 ...)

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!

That's why nowadays I right click on links choose "Copy Link Address"
and paste link into an xterm where I can safely use wget to actually
download the darn thing.

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.
