Hi, Most of the source distribution packages of ZTK are in .tar.gz format. But there are few exceptions. For consistency, can we use .tar.gz format for all releases ?
Once there is a python 2.4 release which fixes the tarfile bug,
That release is scheduled for February 31st next year. :)
or once python 2.4 support is officially no longer desirable.
In practice, the tarfile bug only affects a very small percentage of packages (they need to contain a file member with a '/' character in the 100th position in its name). Anybody who builds a package which generates such a name will just (eventually, anyway) figure out to use zipfile: for everybody else, the distinction is meaningless.
