Subject: About the missing .tar.gz files in our releases
Project: Website@School
Website: http://websiteatschool.eu

After uploading Website@School release 0.90.5 we discovered
that, in some cases, the compressed tar-balls we uploaded were
automagically compressed again at the webserver-side, but were
not uncompressed at the webbrowser/client-side.

It is not very clear (to us) where this issue originates, maybe
the webserver, maybe the browser that is used, maybe the content
management system (Drupal) that is used, maybe specific
combinations of server, CMS and browser.

Since we neither have the ability nor the resources to fix this
issue for once and for all, we decided to remove the gzipped
tar-balls from this download site.

Fortunately you can download our software using the .ZIP-files.

Here are a few links that discuss the issue of double gzipping.
