2007/4/25, Bob Ippolito <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I've had other strange problems with StuffIt's zip support that aren't directly relevant to py2app. For example I have a folder full of a bunch of text files (ActionScript source code) and if I zip it with BOMArchiveHelper, Python, *or* the zip command line tool then StuffIt refuses to unpack the archive with a strange error code. I actually have to use StuffIt or Windows to pack the archives in order to get something that is unpackable by StuffIt.
Last week one of my customers complained he couldn't read a PDF that I compressed with the OSX 10.4 "system zipper" (BOMArchiveHelper, I guess). He used Stuffit on OS 9.2 to expand. I tried again with GNU Zip, and that worked. So I guess it's not only StuffIt that fails, but also the BOMArchiveHelper that creates ZIPs with resource fork included, which isn't really standard - is it? StuffIt should die. It's sad that they broke the only de facto
standard for cross-platform archives :(
