We could just mandate in policy that what the gzip level is supposed to be. If we're going to do that, it's probably easier to just use --rsyncable and teach zsync to do look-in-ar instead of look-in-gz. Also we wouldn't have the md5sum problem on the data.tar.gz then. Note that I haven't tested the efficiency of --rsyncable... grts Tim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
