crunch/incubator — Issue #77: Archives should allow a single directory in its root
Author: KingCrunch
Created: 2011-12-24 22:10:43+00:00
State: open

At least to avoid "Tarbombs" [1]. Additional some sources (for example github) provides their downloads as an archive with the source in one directory and packing can be just a right click -> "compress" (or such).
