[b90 (sort off) BUG] repository issue

[wolph42]

When you export [menu--->file-->export-->campaign repository file] it exports as .zip file. When however you add this same file to the repository (e.g. through dropbox link) it throws an error because its not a .gz file.

so either the export should export as .gz OR the repost should be able to read .zip files.

edit: I recall that you need to add the index.gz address to the repos, so you first need to unzip the exported file... so its not *really* a bug, but lack of documentation inside MT.

Hmm. I'll put in a process to deliver both the zip and the index.gz, for convenience.

On a side-note, we've be tested out gzip alternatives, so this (gzip-related issues) may become a moot point when we restructure things dependent on it.

well its mainly lack of documentation. You need to make the asset directory available and in its root dir the index.gz file. Basically that means unzipping the exported zip file and uploading the index.gz and asset dir to a server. But its not documented anywhere logical. Only with some searching in the wiki you find the actual way.
