Arch Linux

Personally, I don't have a problem with removing the patch itself, but it sounds like it will adversely affect anyone that works with zip files made under MS Windows.

Upstream devs have rejected similar patches twice before. I will consult with the other devs about eliminating it altogether.

I've re-opened this ticket because apparently 7z doesn't work for all 7-bit language encodings.

Attached is a test zip file using shift-jis encoding. This encoding fails with bsdcpio, 7z and (unpatched) unzip. Example output follows, the last of which is the patched version of unzip:

-7z: ?V?K?e?L?X?g ?h?L???????g.txt
-bsdcpio: ?V?K?e?L?X?g ?h?L???????g.txt
-unzip: РVЛKГeГLГXГg ГhГLГЕГБГУГg.txt
-unzip -O shift-jis: 新規テキスト ドキュメント.txt

After researching this for some time it appears that no BSD/Linux ZIP utility fully supports non-UTF-8 filename extraction. This appears to be an ongoing issue with Gentoo and Ubuntu (maybe others too).

So it looks like we have a few options:

a) Re-apply the patch for now, breaking zsh completion and knowing that it may fail again with the next update
b) Throw a patched version of unzip in the AUR
c) Leave things as they are, knowing that non-English win32 zip files will never be fully supported by Linux

I'm leaning towards b or c, if only because none of the upstream developers seem to care. I don't have the skills to maintain this patch should it fail again, but if someone else wants to maintain the package I'd be fine with that too.

Suggestions?

At me a similar problem.

unzip 0.6-5 from extra repository. For correctly unpack files from zip i'm using wine and 7zip (for Windows).

I have checked up - this patch works.

To avoid discussing the same thing in two reports
please use this report only for suggestions how to fix zsh completion with patched unzip,
please use  FS#18691  for anything else related to unzip patch.

The URL you posted doesn't work for me.
Can you please attach the patch to  FS#18691 ?

Oh, thanks. Patch attached to http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18691.
