Comment:

 Packages created with 7zip Portable 9.20 can't be read by osgeo4w-
 setup.exe dated 12/30/2010, the current default on the repository. The
 previous 7zip success above was reported 01/31/2011. I think perhaps the
 current setup.exe is not actually the most recent version? Perhaps a
 casualty of the server crash last year and subsequent restore from
 backups.

 Sample package created with:

 {{{
 7z a -ttar archive.tar stuff\*
 7a s -tbzip2 archive.tar.bz2 archive.tar
 }}}
