Could you please rename the tarball on

Several people have asked me this. Apologies for the mistake; I've
uploaded a real .bz2 now, to replace the bz2 with a gz extension I
originally uploaded.
While I'm grateful to have the error caught, I'm intrigued as to
why so many people thought this was important enough to write an
email about -- why would anyone really care? Surely anyone
prepared to build this from source is capable of unpacking an
archive that happens to have the wrong extension? Am I missing
something?
have you considered automated packaging into your equation? gentoo
comes to mind, but i'm not a gentooer :)
cheers
That's exactly why I asked for a new tarball.. I want to update the
Gentoo ebuild in our pro-audio overlay, and portage doesn't simply use
tar xvf, but bunzip2 && tar x
For sure affects other source based meta-distros too.
Thanks for the new tarball!

Tom
