Thank you for your quick answer.
I'd like to precise a little more the doubts I have:
20050421_cur_table.sql.gz ----> 864 108 KB
and
20050421_cur_table.sql ----> around gigabytes (compression factor of around
3)
BUT
20050421_old_table.sql.gz ----> around 31 gigabytes
and
20050421_old_table.sql ----> 34 201 362 bytes (compression factor of around
1.1)
Even though gunzip seemed to have worked well, I am still very suspicious.
I was expecting an old_table.sql file of around 80 to 90 gigabytes.
I am sorry to insist, but it is very important for my research project to
have the integrality of the records in the table "old" for I am trying to
study collaboration processes among wikipedians.
Thank you very much.
Kevin Carillo

So, out of naivity: how does the process work

incorporation of enhancement patches?
Enhancement patches may or may not get integrated, depending on time,
interest, code cleanliness, bugginess, etc.
I continued my work on read-access controlled pages
(see
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2005-March/028105.html
for my first approach). The second version abandoned the idea of hiding
individual pages and deals with namespaces instead.
Read access restrictions are a really, really low priority. I personally
have no interest in seeing such a feature in MediaWiki, though others
might take a crack at your patch.
