I have just checked that 4.1.2 tarball and it does contain directories, is this a compatibility thing? I used the python/zope tar.gz code to create the file under windows (Part of the same PatchKit). My linux box is currently very ill so I can only test under windows at the moment. Adrian... -- Adrian Hungate Try Zope - http://www.zope.org - You might like it.

I think I must have missed the begining of this one, what is it you are failing to achive? I have a hotpatch product that does what I think you are talking about, so I guess we are not talking about the same thing.

The PatchKit product? Doesn't seem like that'll do it no... (that's kinda cool by the way). Running 'tar zxfv <filename>' on the latest .tar.gz extracts them all as single files (without a directory) on Linux.. Cheers, Morten
