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 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
