** Description changed: - This branch adds default charsets handling for Windows archives in + With the current unzip package in Ubuntu, we need to specify charset + explicitly to extract zip files sent from localized Windows systems. + + For example zip files sent from Japanese localized Windows, + $ zipinfo -O CP932 sent-from-localized-windows.zip + $ unzip -O CP932 sent-from-localized-windows.zip + + This method won't work for GUI application like file-roller, users do + not have way to specify charset from GUI. + + Attached branch adds default charsets handling for Windows archives in CJKV+th locale, inspired by Ubuntu Kylin way. As a result of bug #580961, two options have been added as Ubuntu patch. > -O CHARSET specify a character encoding for DOS, Windows and OS/2 archives > -I CHARSET specify a character encoding for UNIX and other archives Then Ubuntu Kylin added default encoding as environment variables for their distribution. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntukylin-members/ubuntukylin-default-settings/trunk/revision/171 Now as Ubuntu, we can go further by a better way: - - per user settings by their locales instead of global settings - - don't interfere in other locales by locale guard + - per user settings by their locales instead of global settings + - don't interfere in other locales by locale guard I only add "-O", so no behavior change for zip files created on Ubuntu or other Linux/UNIX systems. This branch just handles zip file created on localized Windows system seamlessly. charsets list is taken from: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb964654 and msdos/msdos.c in unzip package: - 1682 case 932: /* Japanese */ - 1683 case 949: /* Korean */ - 1684 case 936: /* Chinese, simple */ - 1685 case 950: /* Chinese, traditional */ - 1686 case 874: /* Thai */ - 1687 case 1258: /* Vietnamese */ + 1682 case 932: /* Japanese */ + 1683 case 949: /* Korean */ + 1684 case 936: /* Chinese, simple */ + 1685 case 950: /* Chinese, traditional */ + 1686 case 874: /* Thai */ + 1687 case 1258: /* Vietnamese */ (Copied from @nobuto's branch description.)
