No, we deliberately dropped adding -z (or -j, or whatever), because tars at least as new as the gnu tar from 10.5 are supposed to be able to figure out what compression utility is needed, so we can get away with using "tar -xvf" on uncompressed tarballs, gzipped tarballs, bzipped tarballs, and xzipped tarballs without having to go through conditionals to figure out what decompressor is needed. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
