I'm currently making a port of gzip 1.3.3, so, you can use --use-compress-program=/usr/local/bin/gzip until gzip 1.3.3 is imported into -current or -stable. see the following URLs for details : http://www.gzip.org/#faq8 and http://www.gnu.org/manual/tar/html_node/tar_132.html#SEC127 (see details on the -b options) or info tar.info 'Blocking Factor' (see details on the -b options) Cyrille. -- Cyrille Lefevre mailto:cyrille.lefevre@laposte.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
