This whole thread is confusing me. Maybe a command line would help? Is this correct? % tar cvf kdefoo-x.y.z.tar <files> % xz kdefoo-xy.z.tar => resulting in kdefoo-x.y.z.tar.xz if not, please tell us what a command line should be I take it from mpyne's original posting that: % tar Jcvf kdefoo-x.y.z.tar.xz <files> isn't the way to go?? _______________________________________________ release-team mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team
