I think that thread was on -packagers rather than any public list. For the record: Dave Page reported that the initial wrap of 8.4.0 failed to build on OS X 10.4. Investigation disclosed that its version of tar was misinterpreting the "o" switch, and that this wasn't Apple's fault but rather a bug common to all GNU tar 1.14.x versions (up to x=91 IIRC). Given the lack of prior complaints and the likelihood that 1.14.x is still in use elsewhere, we decided to revert to the old coding for 8.4. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
