haikuporter seems to only like .tar.gz files, if given a .bz2 or .tgz or any other archive it can't handle it.

[scottmc]

Add support for other types of possible archive files.

This should help.

i just tried it with libdvdnav and it didn't work. libdvdnav has a .bz2 archive.

[haikubot]

It's very strange Python's behavior under Haiku. Because under Windows and Ubuntu Python returns True, if set bla.bz2 archive to as param to

tarfile.is_tarfile('bla.bz2')

Another strange behavior that even you try use

tarfile.open('bla.bz2')

under Haiku, python return error. So there something wrong with Python for Haiku.

I remember that older Python version (not sure which one) works correctly under Haiku.

You can check this yourself under any OS.

import tarfile

print tarfile.is_tarfile('/path/to/bla.bz2')

I rebuilt python with bzip2 support and I now get this error:

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

so it seems it's not extracting the .bz2 archive still.

All fine for me now:
