Those are datastream package files compressed with 7Zip. To uncompress you can use 7za e <filename>.7z I am using 7Zip since it gives 20%-30% better compression than Bzip2 even for executable binaries. The result of uncompressing the file will be another file of the form <filename>.pkg. This is a datastream package file that can be extracted with the following command: pkgtrans -d /full/path/to/<filename>.pkg /tmp all The package directory will be extracted into /tmp Regards, Moinak. -- ================================ http://www.belenix.org/ http://moinakg.wordpress.com/
