Using --no-name with pipes by default for reproducibility (a patch included)

2010-08-02 Thread Karel Klic
7d5e7f8a48d84f - Is there a reason why --name is enabled by default for pipes? The user suggests that --name is less useful than having the possibility of comparing checksums even when compressing a file, so it should be disabled by default. Best regards, Karel Klic [1] https://bugzilla.redh
