David Crossley commented on FOR-1244:
-------------------------------------
Ah, no. That is the original convenience archive of the original 0.9 release.
We re-released later with two separate archives (the "*-sources.tar.gz" and the
"*-dependencies.tar.gz" which are the [A] and [B] referred to above) as can be
seen on our Downloads page and in that Homebrew formula.
We did not follow through as explained in the comment above to provide a new
combined file [C].

> Fix For: 0.10-dev

>
> I've been writing a Homebrew formula for installing Forrest onto Macs
> (https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/pull/24520). Homebrew doesn't handle the
> two-tar-file structure of your distribution very well. Can you publish a
> "fat-tar" file that combines the contents of both, in addition to the two
> independent ones?
