Yes, it's possible, and it's on my TODO list pending merging some ar code refactoring. The code needs to rewind the file descriptor to write out the ar header for the final tar member size. WHich will imply way faster .deb generation as the output will be only written once instead of copyig data over multiple times. thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
