If you've ever wanted to make archives for Linux of your software while on Windows, I made a utility for that: https://github.com/Enichan/tar.py

Creates a tar.gz archive which lets you set the executable bit on files so they'll work on Linux out of the box. Also has an autodetect mode that will set the bit automatically

@eniko I kind of assumed bsdtar (the Windows tar.exe) had options for arbitrary transforms like that (given it has --owner etc) – but seems like it doesn't...

@eniko tar.xz?

@zaire I dunno what that is :D

@eniko you shouldn’t use gz in the modern day and age, xz is much more efficent for distribution purposes and in general and understood by pretty much every linux system

@zaire OK well I don't have a utility that does that so maybe someone else will make one
