 Yep, that's the directory.

 worked fine, but took ages, well hours.  Maybe, we should up the priority
 on the improve create tarball topic
 ([https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/CollecTor/Improvements#FurtherSketchesofAreasforImprovements
 mentioned here])?

 It does take ages to produce tarballs, but that's also because we're using
 `xz -9e` which saves a lot of disk space and bandwidth, at the price of
 long creation time.

 > In addition, I'd like to integrate this script process in the java
 application, i.e., replace the script and let java handle all.  This could
 also pause the tarball-creation momentarily when new downloads take place
 and start it as soon the download stops, in general there would be more
 control.

 Sure, sounds useful.  In the past I tried to append to existing tarballs,
 which worked for a while but then produced some weird problems.  Happy to
 dig out what that was when we improve this.

 However, I wouldn't want to prioritize this over, say, syncing between
 CollecTor instances.

 Looks good, merged!  Thanks.
