Thanks, but I'm happy with the current tar files.
They are a working CVS checkout, so that
people who use them can then use the recipes
in cvs(1) [9 man cvs] to update their trees.
The one you linked to is not a working anything checkout.
I haven't touched the tar file generation in over a year
so "work and trouble" is quite the exaggeration.

I have changed the script that generates the tar files
to use the Plan 9 tar.  Now there will be no SCHILY.*
extensions for GNU tar to whine about.  Maybe that
will kill off this myth.

Russ
