Hello, Please, people, stop accepting that this package has to be unnecessarily feature poor.
Here is the state of things in the unzip 5.52-8 debian package: (a) files <2GB yes (b) files >2GB <4GB no (c) files >4GB no Here is the state of things after Paul Slootman's patch: (a) files <2GB yes (b) files >2GB <4GB yes (c) files >4GB no The package maintainer insists that Paul Slootman's patch is no good because it does not address point (c), which cannot be properly addressed without a thorough overhual of unzip (such as the new experimental upstream version). That's pure hokum because this patch *does* *successfully* *address* point (b). More interoperability being better than less, unzip with Paul Slootman's patch *is* better than unzip without it. Look, the patch is just not that complicated. It *does* introduce serious problems for files >4GB, *which already do not work*. But it does also solve a problem for files <4GB, *which already work everywhere else*. Cheers, - Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
