'tar xf kdesrcbuild-1.5.1.tar.xz' will automatically use unxz and 'tar xf kdesrcbuild-1.5.1.tar.gz' will automatically use gunzip. 'tar cfa kdesrcbuild-1.5.1.tar.xz kdesrcbuild-1.5.1' will automatically use xz for compression. That's true for GNU tar and I don't know for sure about BSD tar versions. >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
