tbz is Lunix, surely.
If we value simplicity, contrib should be pre expanded.
discuss ?

A valid point, specially when Venti lies behind it. But 'Net
bandwith/volumes also count. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to
add compression to "cp", specially when running off a remote
filesystem. On the other hand, given that cpu connections are
encrypted (I forget what is the case about remote file system
connections), maybe filesystem connections can be run over TLS
_with_compression_.
Why does that make me think of SSH-2?

venti doesn't do compression.
an uncompressed tar is still somewhat foreign to plan 9.
a mkfs archive would be a little closer to home.
but why archive? just copy the file tree.
(yes. i know. my contrib area is filled with compressed tarballs.
old habits die hard. bad habits die harder. old, bad habits. ...
i need a beer.)

hola,
I guess we need some conventions, for example where are we
going to put all the contrib files in our trees?
If we had such convention we could just use replica.
