Hi,

Just realized that man pages are not installed. Reason is that
doc/man.tar.gz does not exists, but Makefile expects it. instead, there is
a doc/man-7.3.tar.gz...

After several fixes were backpatches to the 7_3_STABLE branch, we have now
released a 7.3.6. As the list of Changes since 7.3.5 is quite small, they
are included in this email:

* Revert erroneous changes in rule permissions checking
* Repair incorrect order of operations in GetNewTransactionId()
* Ensure configure selects -fno-strict-aliasing even when an
external value for CFLAGS is supplied
* Make pg_restore handle 64-bit off_t correctly
* Make contrib/dblink not assume that local and remote type OIDs
match (Joe)
* Quote connectby()'s start_with argument properly (Joe)
* Don't crash when a rowtype argument to a plpgsql function is NULL
* Avoid generating invalid character encoding sequences in corner
cases when planning LIKE operations
* Ensure text_position() cannot scan past end of source string in
multibyte cases (Korea PostgreSQL Users' Group)
* Fix index optimization and selectivity estimates for LIKE
operations on bytea columns (Joe)

This version, as with most minor versions, does not require a dump/reload
to put into place.

As always, this release is available on all our mirrors, viable at:

http://www.postgresql.org/mirrors-www.html

And, thanks to David Fetter, is also available via BitTorrent at:

http://bt.postgresql.org

Damn ... its a quick/easy change on my end, but I had an argument once way
back concerning re-tarring up the distro after being released ...

Would take me 5 minutes to do ... should I leave, or re-package?

Well... Since it is so new, perhaps it should be re-packaged, although I
agree, once released it should usually not be...

Thinking some more, I say re-package. Those using this file for automatic
packaging have not fetched it yet, hopefully...

I'd say repackage, being careful not to change anything else ...

Would it make sense to call it 7.3.6b or some such thing? Seems like a
straightforward way to handle packaging mistakes.

b is often mistaken for beta, and I believe it is already too late, it is
