I already replied to Conrad on kde@freebsd.org, but to cut things short: ar= k=20 (in the kdeutils3 port) has been patched to invoke "gtar" instead of "tar" = on=20 recent 5.x and newer for a long time now (pretty much ever since tar stoppe= d=20 being gtar). Conrad hasn't replied yet, but I'm assuming he as either a=20 symlink or an alias in place that maps gtar to tar - which isn't=20 recommendable. :) Now, what ark does is not calling --use-compress-programm=3Dgunzip, it call= s=20 =2D-use-compress-program=3D depending on wh= at=20 compressor is detected or user-specification, so simple patching won't work= =2E=20 At the moment, ark builds a (g)tar commandline and executes it via KProcess= -=20 using pipes instead of the --use-compress-program parameter would at the=20 least mean using KShellProcess instead, which would involve, well, a shell. =2D-=20 ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org --nextPart7088407.ytAaNEUioH Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCUo2PXhc68WspdLARArVdAJ9TpYdHdSEwYN5Qh2J1+UPkWB0HVgCfb9WX GF6xxTMoqtQhm885HnUTZAg= =e6dJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart7088407.ytAaNEUioH--
