Can you edit a tgz file without unpacking

[Tiggynicki]

Hi

 

I'm trying to install transmission on my unRAID.

To get it to work, you need to edit a file inside the tgz package.

Now I can off course unpack the tgz package an edit the file, but I can't figure out to create a new tgz file - "make install" won't work.

I was thinking if there is a way to edit the file inside the tgz package without unpacking it.

I can view the tgz files by "tar tzf file.tgz", but I can't figure out how to edit them.

 

Help would be much appreciated:-)
