[schilytools] [RELEASE] 2022-08-18 (beta release)

[Robert Clausecker]

Hi Dennis,

The tarball has been created using the git-archive(1) command.  Git-archive
places the current git revision into a global pax header at the beginning of
the archive.  Archivers that do not support the pax format will either ignore
the header or extract it as a regular file with a warning.

Thank you for your report.  I'll add a note about this to the instructions
shipped with the schilytools.  If problems remain, I'll see if it is feasible
to produce a standard ustar archive instead.

Yours,
Robert Clausecker
