[LTP] Tarballs in Files section @ sf.net

[Sedat D. <sed...@gm...>]

Hi,

why do you name your BZ2-tarballs with the right and common
file-extensions ".tar.bz2"?

$ file ltp-full-20130109.bz2
ltp-full-20130109.bz2: bzip2 compressed data, block size = 900k

$ bunzip2 ltp-full-20130109.bz2

$ file ltp-full-20130109
ltp-full-20130109: POSIX tar archive (GNU)

$ tar -xf ltp-full-20130109

$ ls -l
insgesamt 12
drwxrwxr-x  3 wearefam wearefam 4096 Jan 16 14:33 ./
drwxrwxr-x  3 wearefam wearefam 4096 Jan 16 14:33 ../
drwxr-xr-x 16 wearefam wearefam 4096 Jan  9 10:21 ltp-full-20130109/

And why don't you use XZ compressor? Even traditional GNU folks
switched to efficient XZ :-).

$ tar -c --xz -f ltp-full-20130109.tar.xz ltp-full-20130109/

$ tar -c --bzip2 -f ltp-full-20130109.tar.bz2 ltp-full-20130109/

$ du -k ltp-full-20130109.tar.bz2 ltp-full-20130109.tar.xz
3688    ltp-full-20130109.tar.bz2
2892    ltp-full-20130109.tar.xz
