Hi,=20

=20

I am trying to package a .tar.gz file using ruby. I have packaged a
tar file using the same ruby code and it works perfectly fine. However,
when I use the same code for a .tar.gz file, it give me an error while
trying to open it . It says that this is not a tar file. I know I need
to change something in my ruby code.=20

There are a few things that I changed i.e. 1) the extension from .tar to
tar.gz

However there is a command at the end of the code which does=20

Tar -cf #.tar.gz file # a folder which contains the
install and license and everything to do with this file.

=20

Now I know that I need to change the above code, since this is not a tar
file. Does anyone know wot to do ??

Any help is appreciated,

Thanx,

Vidhi.

Yes. Look at Archive::Tar::Minitar on RubyForge under the Ruwiki project.
