What's the deal with "baz format" archives in tla? I understand that for compatibility purposes, one probably wants to always use "classic tla format" archives for public mirrors and the like, but what about private archives? Er, to be a bit more specific: * Are there any real advantages to "baz format" archives? * Will they be supported by future versions of tla? * Are there any problems with such archives in current/slightly-old versions of tla? * Must a mirror have the same archive format as the source archive? If I had a baz-format internal archive, could I mirror it to a classic-tla-format mirror? [The reason I ask all this, is that I'm about to create a new archive, and I noticed the "--baz" option to tla make-archive...] Thanks, -Miles -- Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us. -- Jerry Garcia
