I received the following email today about the CLI version. Miquel, what do you think?

Comments: Hiya,
A suggestion I'd like to offer for the CLI version of PasswordMaker would be for the source to be tarred + gzipped (*.tar.gz) instead of zipped (*.zip), and to contain all files in a directory like passwordmaker-cli-1.3
That's more or less the standard way that packages are normally distributed for *nix/bsd etc, so could be good to follow the same conventions. Currently, unzipping the ZIP file drops all the files in the same dir.
I'm trying to produce a package for the user repository of Arch Linux (http://www.archlinux.org/) to simplify installation of PasswordMaker for Arch users, I'm hitting trouble because of the package being a zip file containing no directory.
Many thanks
David P

The tar.gz (and .tar.bz2 as well) thing, I can do with the next version (it's overdue I believe)
And for the directory thing, I thought I was already doing that for the source version? I know that I don't really do that with the Windows binary version.

Didn't seem to be, at least for me. Unzipping passwordmaker-cli-1.3-src.zip dumped all the files + directories into the current directory, as opposed to creating one new directory containing everything.
Cheers
