- by Brett Smith <brettcsmith@brettcsmith.org> [Tue, 05 May 2009 20:14:36 -0400] rev 108
- Add support for new .deb archives with data.tar.{bz2,lzma}.
We do this just by detecting the compression of the data.tar file at
runtime. The current solution is not exactly elegant but at least avoids
repeating code.

- by Brett Smith <brettcsmith@brettcsmith.org> [Sun, 12 Apr 2009 11:22:42 -0400] rev 107
- Support multiple greps and antigreps per test.
I thought I would need this for a new test I was writing. It turned out I
ended up implementing different tests (and features), but this could come
in handy for later so I'm keeping it.

- by Brett Smith <brettcsmith@brettcsmith.org> [Sun, 12 Apr 2009 11:21:51 -0400] rev 106
- Start printing results ASAP with -l or -t.
Doing -l on a large archive was painful because dtrx would wait until it
had all the listings before it displayed any. It did this to make sure
that the listing would be successful.
On reconsidering, though, I think it's really unlikely that there'll be a
case where a lister process provides *some* good output for a given file in
the wrong format. So, now -l will try to get one good line out of the
lister. If it gets that, then it will immediately start displaying results
as they come in. On the off chance that it detects an error later on, it
will display an error about that, and then try again with a different
extractor if appropriate.

- by Brett Smith <brettcsmith@brettcsmith.org> [Tue, 16 Sep 2008 21:51:59 -0400] rev 91
- Make sure all extractors get self.contents defined.
self.contents was set in check_contents, which not every extractor class
needs to call. But every extractor needs to have it, since this is how we
print filenames with -v. So assign this in the extract method, which we're
guaranteed to call.

- Be more careful on SIGINT/SIGKILL cleanup.
Don't blow away .dtrx-*, instead look for our specific extraction directory
and delete that.

- by Brett Smith <brettcsmith@brettcsmith.org> [Thu, 24 Jul 2008 22:35:38 -0400] rev 85
- Use the default action for SIGPIPE.
Using Python's built-in handler makes weird error messages for the user,
and there's no reason not to act like every other Unix program in this
regard. This seems particularly true since we're most likely to get
SIGPIPE with dtrx -l, where we won't write things to disk etc.

- by Brett Smith <brettcsmith@brettcsmith.org> [Thu, 24 Jul 2008 22:15:19 -0400] rev 84
- Add --one-entry option to specify default handling for one-entry archives.
As part of this I ended up cleaning up the option-generating code a little
bit, mostly to be more careful about the ordering of options in --help
output.

- Stop worrying about trailing newlines in get_filenames() overrides.
Now that all the get_filenames implementations call out to the original,
which takes care of the trailing newline, we don't need to keep doing it in
other methods.

- by Brett Smith <brettcsmith@brettcsmith.org> [Sun, 20 Jul 2008 22:24:49 -0400] rev 81
- Move most ExtractorBuilder constants to the top.
This actually makes the code a little longer, but it's much more organized:
whenever a new extractor is added, you just have to add one entry to
extractor_map accordingly.

- by Brett Smith <brettcsmith@brettcsmith.org> [Sun, 20 Jul 2008 21:39:39 -0400] rev 80
- Move more common extraction/listing functionality into BaseExtractor.
I noticed that a lot of the extract_archive/get_filenames implementations
were the same two lines of code: a pipe and a run_pipes. Short as it is,
there's no reason to keep repeating that two-line incantation, so I moved
this basic pattern into BaseExtractor.

- by Brett Smith <brettcsmith@brettcsmith.org> [Sun, 20 Jul 2008 21:16:08 -0400] rev 79
- Improve dtrx -l performance on misnamed files, and clean other error messages.
dtrx -l would only ever try one extractor, instead of trying all possible
alternaitves like it did when extracting. This is mostly because
get_filenames() reported no meaningful error information. This has been
fixed.
Some error messages have been genericized, since we're not always
extracting archives: we might be listing their contents instead.

- by Brett Smith <brettcsmith@brettcsmith.org> [Sun, 20 Jul 2008 20:45:54 -0400] rev 78
- Don't show errors from failed extractors unless they all fail.
If dtrx has to try different extractors before finding and using the right
one, the user shouldn't see error messages from the failed extractors;
those are just confusing. Just like the Application decides whether to say
particular extractors failed at all, this patch makes it also decide
whether or not to show the stderr from those extractors.

- by Brett Smith <brettcsmith@brettcsmith.org> [Tue, 15 Jul 2008 22:18:03 -0400] rev 76
- Give extraction stderr more context, and suppress normal cpio stderr junk.
cpio will write a useless "N blocks" message to stderr without --quiet, so
use that.
When we show extraction's stderr to the user, first write a line explaining
what it is, and also don't forget to strip the trailing newline, since
.warning() writes its own.

- by Brett Smith <brettcsmith@brettcsmith.org> [Sun, 13 Jul 2008 17:54:47 -0400] rev 73
- Don't assume .exe files are Cabinet archives just by extension.
.exe files are as likely as not to be archives, so I'd rather not bug the
user for recursive extraction every time they're in an archive. So we'll
detect these sorts of archives by their magic only, which prevents them
from triggering recursive extraction attempts.

- by Brett Smith <brett@brettcsmith.org> [Thu, 10 Jul 2008 19:51:53 -0400] rev 69
- Count files in the archive and report that in the recursion prompt.
I like this because, for example, if you see that all or most of the files
in the archive are recursive, you can go ahead and decide to recurse right
away.
This invoved making the grep tests a little smarter about handling white
space.

- Deal with partially extracted tarballs.
If you can only extract part of a tarball -- for example, because it
includes nodes and you're not root -- tar will extract what it can but give
an error code. So now dtrx will only fail if some subprogram threw an
error code *and* nothing actually got extracted. Otherwise, we'll show
whatever errors came up, but we'll still assume the extraction was as
successful as it's going to be.

- [svn] Find self-extracting archives by their file magic only, not extension/mimetype.
The problem with using extensions/mimetypes for this is that it net way too
many false positives. Files ending in .com, .bat, etc. would cause the
user to be prompted for recursive extraction. This makes that problem go
away, and it means that error messages when the user tries to extract a
non-archive .exe will probably be more useful, too.

Since FilenameChecker was just using os.path.exists() to see whether or not
a filename was free, it had a time of check vs. time of use vulnerability.
Matthew was prodding me about the inconsistency with DirectoryChecker, so
that inspired me to fix this. This also entailed some refactoring. Thanks
Matthew.

- [svn] Handle SIGINT and SIGKILL.
This prevents us from spewing a traceback. We also make one last-ditch
effort to clean up any temporary stuff so it doesn't hog the user's disk.
Also made some aesthetic changes: replace the last instance of run-command
with shutil.rmtree, so the whole function's gone now. Also call it set
instead of Set.

- [svn] Fix various bugs in the recursive extraction.
First, 5.0 introduced a regression where it wouldn't find archives hidden
in subdirectories. So fix that.
Then recursive extraction would get confused if the archive was a ONE_ENTRY
and we decided to wrap it or just extract it here. Fix that too: the
extractor keeps track of where it thinks it's extracting to, and then the
handler will change that if necessary.
There are unit tests for all this.
I twiddled some other small thing while I was at it but now I forget what.

- [svn] Make dtrx -v print *something*.
paulv wants it to act like tar -v. I'm not yet convinced this is a good
idea because it makes less sense with dtrx moving things around on you. It
could do an ls for you, of course, but... why? But it definitely is weird
to have it be silent.

- [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.

- [svn] Minor clean-ups. The most important of these is that we now have a better
strategy for dealing with the pathological case of having many extraction
destinations taken: after trying various names with number suffixes, we'll
finally resort to mkstemp/mkdtemp to get what we need. This still isn't
guaranteed to work but it's much more reliable. Also print out a warning
for the user when we extract to some weird directory.

extracting one file (as opposed to one directory) here, and squashed those
in the process.

some similar fidgeting with the ExtractorBuilder. I like this better.
It's still not the cleanest API but things feel more manageable now.
Add 7z support.

- [svn] If we can't figure out what the file is by mimetype, try using the file
command to figure out what it is instead.
This completely changes the program structure because now we might try to
use several extractors on a particular file before giving up. I haven't
really done the refactoring that would be appropriate for a change this
fundamental. I'd like to do that before the next release.

- [svn] Change all the license notices from GPLv2 to GPLv3.
Instead of checking the archive contents, figuring out what to do, and
doing it, instead we now always extract the archive to a private directory,
and then shuffle around the contents appropriately. I expected this to be
a bigger win than my benchmarks have borne out, but I'm sticking with this
strategy because it provides a cleaner separation of responsibilities
between the extractors and the archive type handlers, and also I have to
believe it's a much better way to handle bigger archives -- since we're now
reading it once and not twice.

- [svn] If an archive contains other archives, and the user didn't specify that
they wanted recursion, prompt them to find out what they want to do.
This required some changes in the way prompting for one-item archives works
too, because if an archive inside another archive is itself a one-item
archive, things get really weird. I'm still not really sure what the right
policy is for that.
I'm not wild about this code. It feels like programming a bunch of special
cases. I need to figure out a better way to abstract it. I'm thinking
some kind of Policy class....

- [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.

different archive types are out in their own classes, and polymorphism
takes care of everything for us. This is way cleaner.
While I was at it I changed the behavior in the case where an archive
contains one directory that doesn't match the basename. I now treat that
the same as a bomb. This can lead to silly directory structures but
ensures that there's no "data" loss nor unexpected results.

ExtractorApplication is a total mess at this point. I already am having a
hard time following how the pieces fit together. Cleaning it up is my next
task; that'll be easier now that I test most of the functionality again.

- by brett [Mon, 06 Nov 2006 22:36:47 -0500] rev 6
- [svn] The big thing here is recursive extraction. Find archive files in the
thing we're extracting, and extract those when we're done, if the user
provides the -r option. While I was at it:
* --help/--version switches too.
* Throw a more useful error if we get a weird encoding.
* Some other small fix I'm forgetting.
I should definitely add tests for this. I also really want to step back
and reevaluate the structure of ExtractorApplication. I don't expect it to
be a shining example of good OO anyway, but it's getting moderately hairy
now, with lots of shared state and side effects and stuff.
