Firing patches at the list, without copying them to a maintainer, often means that they are ignored. Perhaps this should be sent to the trivial maintainer (unless the documentation maintainer thinks this is within his area - I have not looked to see if anybody admits to maintaining this). 2. Perhaps you should also mention .xz variants ? Actually, on a version of tar from the last few years, tar -xf linux-4.X.tar.{gz,bz,xz} "just works". But I'm sure that some people who deliberately test on antique userspace (and perhaps people who do not use gnu tar) might take a different view on that. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early.
