Ah, no problem, to be honest I wasn't sure how to answer your previous mail : every statement you made seemed correct, only that you drew a wrong conclusion from them :) So yup, this will only work with packages generated from a patched makepkg, that uses gzip -n as compression. Or well, packages could also be decompressed and re-compressed with gzip -n. _______________________________________________ pacman-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/pacman-dev
