MPM 2.5 to support .tar.bz2

by CSchenk12. December 2005 09:58
The MiKTeX package manager currently supports only Microsoft cabinet files. This makes it a little hard (impossible) to do packaging on a non-Windows system. Therefore, I have decided to implement in MiKTeX 2.5 support for bzip2 compressed tar files.

Why not considering PMMd compression which optimized for text-based file compression (or LZMA)? A free zip prgram support both PPMd and LZMA is available from www.7-zip.com.

Hope these helps.
