[svn] At work I was getting an unhelpful "No such file or directory" error when I
tried to extract an .exe. It turns out this was because I didn't have
cabextract installed. This inspired a few changes:
* BaseExtractor now raises an ExtractorUnusable error when this happens.
* Various points in the code deal with this properly.
* The loop for trying extractors will now report all the errors it got, if
extraction is unsuccessful, to better help you understand why.
Also snuck in a bug fix where things weren't being cleaned properly with a
half-extracted archive.
Also got my version number situation in order, in anticipation for the next
release, which may be a while yet but at least I won't have to worry about
it then.
To do: * Fix recursive extraction to check subdirectories * Add ability to list included archives for recursive extraction * Make C-c not print a stack trace. * Make -v report some kind of progress Things which I have a use case/anti-use case for: * Support pisi packages (http://paketler.pardus.org.tr/pardus-2007/) * Steal ideas from <http://martin.ankerl.com/files/e>. * More consistently raise and handle exceptions. Things that are generally good: * Better tests. * Better error messages. Things I think might be good but can't prove: * Consider having options about whether or not to make sane directories, have tarbomb protection, etc. * Use zipfile instead of the zip commands. * Processing from stdin. * shar support.
