Description Daniel Hancock 2005-08-24 12:58:54 UTC

Fuck sakes! Portage's unpack command can't even handle jar files. Find 
attached a patch for ebuild.sh. Serious fucking software for real 
mathematicians like Maple needs this functionality; FOSS crap for amateurs 
like dev-java/junit and dev-java/bluej-bin could benefit too.

Amateurs?  Your behaviour/comments on this bug and others imply you to be the
amateur frankly- either that or attempting to get a rise out of people.

Discontinue that crap when asking others to help if you want people to do what
you request.  The attitude is a bit much considering your rant is over 4
characters nobody else has yet seen need to request.

this may cause regressions in java ebuilds which rely on fallback behavior of
portage to simply copy the .jar to $WORKDIR

those ebuilds are broken already imo though, so it doesnt matter to me

This is requested for 100584, which has been slapped shut.
So... Stuart's patch ain't going in.

Re-assigning to pms-bugs since this is conceivable for a future EAPI.

Is this still an issue? Wouldn't that be a good candidate for unpacker.eclass?

+\item[unpack] Unpacks a source archive into the current directory. Must be able to unpack the
+    following file formats, if the relevant binaries are available:
...
+    \item zip files (\t{*.zip, *.ZIP, *.jar}) (with \t{unzip} available)

looks like PMS includes this in EAPI=0 already

    \item zip files (\t{*.zip, *.ZIP, *.jar}). Ebuilds must ensure that Info-ZIP Unzip is installed.
