Why:
WTF?! is all this tar -zb998asdf8 file.tar.gz madness?
Untarring a file should be ridiculously easy.
INSTALL:
1. Just take the 'untarded.rb' file and put it some where.
2. Edit your .bashrc and add an alias with the untarded.rb path
Example: alias untarded='ruby ~/scripts/untarded/untarded.rb'
3. Install ruby if you don't alread have it.
sudo apt-get install ruby
Untarded:
Example useage (.gz):
$ untarded filename.tar.gz
Example useage (.bz):
$ untarded filename.tar.bz
freakin' a.
Q&A:
Q: This just un-tar's files. You're an idiot.
A: Well, that wasn't really a question, but yeah, I'm always un-taring
and not tarring so that wasn't a goal. Plus, tar's arguments seem
a lot less silly when tarrring.
Q: This sucks, I can't do something.
A: Also not a question, but you should Submit a bug or Request a feature.
Q: Can you passed other arguments, when untaring?
A: No.
Q: Haven't you heard of unp, that python script that unpacks anything.
A: Sure did. A little after I wrote this.
Q: How does Untarded work?
A: It just builds the silly commands, and hands them to tar.
