Given that xz is only provided since GNU Coreutils 7.1 and only in some newer BSD releases (if at all, I know FreeBSD 8 at least has it in the base, no idea about pkgsrc and such), I'd say you might want to provide tgz and tbz2 for another year before really stopping to provide other formats. I mean, seriously, is providing some extra files in a particular compression format the biggest of our problems? -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <asmodai(-at-)in-nomine.org> / asmodai イェルーン ラウフロック ヴァン デル ウェルヴェン http://www.in-nomine.org/ | http://www.rangaku.org/ | GPG: 2EAC625B The only trust in this world is that of steel... _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers
