xar in Mac OS X

I just wanted to let you guys know some good news about XAR and Mac OS  
X.

Apple has chose xar as the archive format for their new package format  
in Mac OS X 10.5.  The Leopard release given to developers has the xar  
tool and libxar.  It also has a copy of Package Maker and Installer  
which can create and install packages using the xar format  
(respectively).

Although the seed is not public,I thought I would share this with you  
guys.

We plan on sending our changes upstream as often as possible (and  
started a few weeks ago when I sent the changes to this list).

Chris

Those of you attending WWDC are welcome to join us for beer at the
WWDC party tomorrow night. :-)

Hopefully we'll run into some of the rest of you eventually.
