But currently the changes of zip and bzip in PHP are a lot higher. For example we could also bundle a PEAR package like Archive_Tar (1) and be done with it. In fact I'd welcome this a lot since a) the code is there and b) it's been proven to work (because PEAR installer itself uses it).
please think of the windows users out there, who cannot handle anything but zip by "default", and start by implementing .zip. we can then move on to gzip/bzip2/tar archives and make it configurable.
I was just suggesting Archive_Tar because Archive_Zip looks deserted. ;-) But if anyone wants to fix it up, that's cool too.
I wasn't aware that Windows cannot handle tar (or tar.gz). I just know WinZip does it, Winrar and on MacOSX there's no concern either. There are also multiple freeware tools to do that but of course we *should* focus on what most users have installed.
I guess it wouldn't hurt to make this configurable. ;-)
