As for the different options we might choose, I really don't know what to say, I'm not too much into the gory details, but we might be better following the "-y" tar flag, as it's already there; however, some auto-magically bzip[2] recognition sounds good, but we shouldn't overdue it... BTW, I hear bzip has it's own disadvantages, like it's a big memory consumer (heard that it might not uncopress if enough memory isn't available ?)... > > Satoshi > Another $0.02, Ady (@freebsd.ady.ro) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
