--VvnGyWaJ9JuxX38U Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello folks, Some days ago, I read that libarchive supports zip files as well. Because bsdtar(1) also uses libarchive, you can extract a regular zip file with it. Because most current FreeBSD releases have bsdtar (and older versions can use bsdtar from ports), I was experimenting with replacing the ports' dep on unzip with bsdtar. The result: http://g-rave.nl/junk/ports-and-bsdtar.diff I already tested some random ports and it should already work with all ports that only define USE_ZIP=3Dyes and do not tamper around with UNZIP_CMD or EXTRACT_{BEFORE,AFTER}_ARGS. I looked through the bsdtar manual page, but it has no option to unpack text-files with UNIX-to-DOS newlines conversion, so I added USE_DOS2UNIX=3Dyes to the quake3 port as a test. Quite an amount of ports need patching to work properly with bsdtar instead of unzip (different command arguments). I wouldn't mind spending some time on it, if I could get some confirmation on beforehand that the patch won't get trashed eventually. Yours, --=20 Ed Schouten <ed@fxq.nl> WWW: http://g-rave.nl/ --VvnGyWaJ9JuxX38U Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFD1BLQmVI4SHXwmhERAmfEAJ92c666nYwybKsFo82G8x1lQrGWOgCgrkhH vwx83HUDDO4Z1KN7PKYvZgg= =1qu5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --VvnGyWaJ9JuxX38U--
