[svn] Improve the way we check archive contents. If all the entries look like
they're in ., they really shouldn't count as being in the same directory;
look at the next piece of the path. If the archive only has one
non-directory item, report that more clearly. You'll be able to tell by
whether or not there's a trailing slash in the prompt.
Improve the tests for doing straight decompression, and seek to the
beginning of the archive before we start writing to the file -- otherwise,
we write 0-byte files.
Lots of new ideas in the TODO. I think I'll do another release once
recursion is interactive.
Things which I have a use case/anti-use case for: * Prompt the user to recurse. * Use file to detect the archive type. * Support lzma compression (http://tukaani.org/lzma/download) * Support pisi packages (http://paketler.pardus.org.tr/pardus-2007/) * Steal ideas from <http://martin.ankerl.com/files/e>. * Figure out what the deal is with strerror. (done?) * Better error messages (file doesn't exist, isn't readable, etc.) * Consistently raise and handle exceptions. * Take URLs as arguments. 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. * Extracting control.tar.gz from deb files. * shar support.
