I want to package Smack for Ubuntu Dapper, but I only have like, a couple days left. Could you tell me where to get the tarball that actually fully extracts? I tried finding you on IRC in #lad, but I guess you're not on yet. dana@polly:~/debs-dapper/Smack-0.2.1$ tar zxf smack_0.2.1.orig.tar.gz gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors dana@polly:~/debs-dapper/Smack-0.2.1$ I've downloaded it several times from Berlios...
