[Request] Info-Zip UID/GID and bzip2 support for -current
As you can see in this thread on the Info-Zip forums, UID/GID restoration is broken by default (that thread also includes a patch, as does this Debian bug report). Could this be fixed in -current?
As an additional request, it would be nice if bzip2 compression support was added to the Slackware infozip package by default as I have started to encounter more zips that use this method from Windows using friends. No other application included in Slackware can currently open these files so without support in the official Slackware package a user must either recompile infozip themselves or install pz7ip from SBo. When recompiling infozip recently with bzip2 support I made the following change to the infozip.SlackBuild and dumped the bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz in the directory alongside it. Code:
--- infozip.SlackBuild.orig 2013-09-11 10:38:17.000000000 +0200 P.S. There is also this thread started by me on the UID/GID problems, here in LQ). |
Here is a patch to infozip.SlackBuild that adds working Unix UID/GID support and bzip2 support:
Code:
--- ./infozip.SlackBuild.orig 2013-09-12 11:19:30.000000000 +0200 Here are the uncompressed contents of process.c.diff.gz (basically the patch from the Debian bug report linked above): Code:
--- ./process.c.orig 2009-03-06 02:25:10.000000000 +0100 |
Thanks Patrick!
