OK, thanks for reporting the bug. I didn't know this and I still don't know where it is documented. I have hopefully fixed it in the git repository now. I assume that -sources.jar doesn't require any manifest. > If you want to make the source code available for rebuilding, then > this is better done by providing an online source code repository > (it's Git for XZ, isn't it) with a special tag for the release, say > "xz-1.1". Right. There is a source .zip on tukaani.org and releases have been tagged in the git repository. -- Lasse Collin | IRC: Larhzu @ IRCnet & Freenode
