| 1 | Hi, |
| 2 | |
| 3 | In order to support alternative compression types for binhost |
| 4 | packages, I was thinking about adding support for a header field in |
| 5 | the Packages index file. For example, a header line like |
| 6 | "PACKAGE_EXTENSION: txz" could be used to indicate that clients |
| 7 | should download files with txz extensions instead of tbz2 |
| 8 | extensions. I'm planning to add support for both tgz [1] and txz |
| 9 | extensions. |
