If you do indeed need to specify the -j or -z because ubuntu is running an old version of tar, I've no idea how to do it tersely - I always structure my scripts verbosely with lots of ifs and so forth. You can extract the file suffix (provided it starts with a t and there isn't a preceding '.t' in the package name) with something like suffix=$(echo $package | sed 's/^.*\.\(t.*\)/\1/') and then test $suffix for .tar, .tgz, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tbz2. ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, "OMG poneys!" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
