--- Comment #9 from Harald Koenig
Yes, it has been changed intentionally, .tar.gz can be extracted on windows system with winzip installed.
iff winzip is installed... that's not M$ WinXY anymore, and as a windows zealot I would argue that that's the typical arogance of Linux ignoring "standards"... I did not see that "winzip" constraint when I first read your comment, so I asked some colleagues with windows skills -- and they showed me that on their XP systems they haven't been able to open some demo.tar.gz (obviously winzip is not installed, so they lost...). what's wrong with *.zip files as smallest common denominator ? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
