Re: [Bug-tar] RE: PATCH: Lzo compression support

[devzero]

thanks for inform about that - didn`t know that it incorporates lzo already!

it really seems that gnu-tar is too conservative for this.

i will take a look and give it a try if berlios is back online. 
btw: i have often experienced problems accessing berlios - is berlios just too 
unstable website ?

regards
roland
