BTW, .tbz sounds like it was compressed with the old bzip. There is no convention, afaik, for tarballs compressed with bzip2 other than .tar.bz2. Is there a good reason not to use that? (Like the 2 dots would break some bad code in the pkg_* tools?) Otherwise, you might want to go with .tbz2; it's longer but unambigous. -- AlanE KDE-FreeBSD Team To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
