Why is that in any way specific to *subversion* releases? *Our* earlier problem (at CVS time) was with non-portable archives produced by GNU tar (causing problem when unpacking with some *nix vendor tar implementations). > i would say windows and zip is a more natural fit than > windows and tar.gz/tar.bz2 Exactly. I'm *very* hesitant to start a major rename during RC mode just because a particular version of WinZip doesn't play well with an archive that any *nix tar can unpack just fine. IIRC it's also the first time this problem has been reported, so there certainly are Win32 tools out there that do play well with the archive. +1 on offering the source as an alternative zip archive or self-extracting exe instead. +Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
