The file sizes are correct. I can't explain the huge difference though...
They both contain the same files, and are built from the same specfile. The
only difference between the build commands is that the RedHat 9 RPMs are
built with --define 'build89 1', and the RHEL RPMs are built with --define
'build7x 1' and --define 'plperl 0'. The exclusion of plperl shouldn't make
a difference in this RPM, only in the postgresql-pl RPM...
In short: both filesizes are correct, and I can't explain it :(
Sander.
