It does suck, but IMHO you're also a newb if you don't make a subdirectory for a tarball/zipfile before decompressing anywayz, in order to avoid such. What really gets me annoyed are people like the tcl devs who can't obey the standard tarball naming conventions...it means that if you want to write build scripts, you have to spend way more time than you should, writing bad, hackish edge cases on how to process such files. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
