That's interesting -- I never knew that. When left to my own devices I always use .tar.gz or .tar.bz2, so I guess I'm pleading ignorance :) Thanks a lot for the explanation! I'll have to go update the Github ticket now. Best, Jeff _______________________________________________ Fab-user mailing list Fab-user@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fab-user
