Did I miss a big HEADS UP message, or did this just happen quietly while no one was looking? BTW, .tbz sounds like it was compressed with the old bzip. There is no convention, afaik, for tarballs compressed with bzip2 other than .tar.bz2. Is there a good reason not to use that? (Like the 2 dots would break some bad code in the pkg_* tools?) Otherwise, you might want to go with .tbz2; it's longer but unambigous. -- AlanE KDE-FreeBSD Team To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
