A few upstream (Ant) changes to the ZIP package
-----------------------------------------------
Key: SANDBOX-276
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANDBOX-276
Project: Commons Sandbox
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Compress
Reporter: Stefan Bodewig
Priority: Minor
I've recently applied three patches to the Ant code base that may be of
interest to commons-compress as well.
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=738844&view=rev
use more modern collections (since Ant trunk now officially is JDK 1.4+). This
results in some minor performance improvements because of less synchronization
and a theoretical bigger improvement for entries with many extra fields.
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=738853&view=rev
make sure the archive is closed in the presence of a RuntimeExcepetion which
may happen when LFH parsing fails.
Fixes https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46559
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=739300&view=rev
skip extra fields that don't follow the recommended HEADER-ID, LENGTH structure
at the end of the extra field (this is what unzip does as well).
Fixes https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42940
There are two more issues open in Ant's bugzilla I may be working on over the
next few weeks (low prio for me):
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46637 - which may be
impossible to do in a backwards compatible way (not a concern for a sandbox
component, I guess) and the more important
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45429 which would allow
archives to contain files bigger than 2 GB and support UTF8 filenames in a more
portable way.
Technically I am a commons committer, maybe we can collaborate on the required
changes via the commons dev list (or Ant's).
