Re: tar module

In peoples general opinions, would there be any call for a tarball handling module ?

Beware that the lib must/should not handle the whole tar in memory. Some tar libs do so, mostly in the intermediate gzip/gunzip, which will most likely not work within php's memory-limit=8MB. It should be able to handle the ori and copy in small chunks.

I can work round it at present, but after this project is out the way, I'll be at a loose end and I may well just dive into this if there's any call for it at all. Thinking about wrapping round http://www.feep.net/libtar/ Also, I was wondering if there's any way to determine from within one module if another module is enabled ?
