You missed my point. I wish Sage was distributed as tar file containing uncompressed sources. Then the tar file was compressed with bzip2, gzip or whatever else you want. The fact the source is distributed as a set of compressed files is not a great idea in my personal opinion. I'd rather the source was compressed once, and did not consist of a collection of compressed files. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
