TarFilesRename uses the older method of using the uncompressor first and then pipes the result out, although to pax rather than tar. A combination of TarFilesRename and SourceRename might well do the trick here. Another option would be to recompress it and have the new tarball uploaded to Fink's repository on Sourceforge. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
