Re: Nping tarballs

["Luis M." <luis.mgarc () gmail com>]

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.
