I’ve had a few inquries in the past about moving from the ‘old standard’ Stuffit format for my bundles, as Apple no longer offers Stuffit Expander with MacOS X.
I refuse to embrace the .Zip broken-standard which Apple offers with MacOS X 10.3 – it not only stores things in a rather hackish way, but anyone who doesn’t useApple’s BOMArchiver to uncompress it will end up with useless and broken data.
I’ve created a poll which will run for the next two months. I prefer .tar.bz2 (tbz) personally, but this would have issues with older MacOS X 9 archives, or programs with seperate resource forks.
