This is realy a big problem about FG project ;).... If a distro choosed to name the packages *.tgz we have to avoid that extension?? i'm a slak user and i hadn't met any problem with *.tgz files....
The slack packages are gzipped tarballs whose filenames end with .tgz rather than .tar.gz. They are constructed such that, when extracted while in the root directory, their files go to their installed locations. It is therefore possible (if inadvisable) to install packages without Slackware's package tools, using only tar and gzip, and making sure to run the doinst.sh script, if one was included in the package. mybe if Jon Stockill will make slack packages for aircafts this may be a isue....
