Hi Henri, When I wrote the internal Nping release scripts I didn't add bzip2 files because in my opinion there is no point on offering both formats since tar.gz can be decompressed on virtually any Unix. Adding another format just adds a bit more complexity when releasing new versions and, with today's inet bandwidth I don't think the better compression ratio offered by bz2 is enough reason to include an additional source package. However, I am willing to change my mind if there are good reasons for it. Why should Nping also be offered in bz2 format? About the sig files, you are right. I'll add a TODO list so next releases include them. Regards, Luis.
This is not must, but would be nice to have. Nmap is offered in bzip2 too. --- Henri Salo _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
