Re: Suggestion to and how to alow different compression for .debs

that was bzip2 compressed for removal. It's also specifically warned in the packaging manual that pre-depends should be used sparingly, for a number of reasons. Chris Pimlott (IANADD)

Re: Suggestion to and how to alow different compression for .debs

support predefined types but would be simpler, and there aren't _that_ many formats people are dying to use - tar.gz and tar.bz2 (and possibly tar.Z) could probably make 99.9% of everyone happy, and stuff like tar.zip, tar.arj, tar.lha etc could be added if anyone really wanted it. Chris
