Not to argue but I prefer tar gzip packages but only because I am
used to that in the Unix world. We build BNews up to 2.11.19
using tarfiles and most of the rest of the internet evolved that way
and not just OS specific packages or distribution specific. This stuff
compiled and ran on all the popular *nixes. I get the point about ease
of use but was just thinking about the tried and true cross OS
stuff that I am used to. Will that all go away because distribution
oriented packages need to be maintained for each OS/dist?
