So I wrote my own u7z version with all functionality, that provide p7zip archiver. Please include it to the mc source code. }}} Comment 1 by SGh at Sat 08 Apr 2006 01:45:08 PM UTC: {{{ P.S. Sorry for my bad english. }}} Comment 2 by Pavel Tsekov at Thu 18 May 2006 01:51:52 PM UTC: {{{ It would be better if you tweak the existing u7z script instead of providing a new one. I see the exisiting one has support for removing files from archives - why doesn't it work for you ? Does it print an error message of some kind ? }}} Comment 3 by SGh at Tue 30 May 2006 07:52:33 PM UTC: {{{ What's the difference if I've wrote my own version or changed the existent one? I've written it just a bit earlier before I've downloaded the CVS. I don't exactly remember but deleting wasn't worked in that CVS anyway. Seems like there was just an empty delete function. }}} Comment 4 by Leonard den Ottolander at Wed 21 Jun 2006 05:35:56 PM UTC: {{{ It's easier to see what changed (and if there are unwanted regressions) if you patch the existing version instead of writing a new version from scratch. So if you want to get any improvements considered for inclusion you will have to rewrite your patch. }}} Comment 5 by SGh at Wed 21 Jun 2006 07:15:35 PM UTC: {{{ OK, Understand. I will download latest CVS, and see if I have something to patch un u7z. }}} Comment 6 by SGh at Fri 23 Jun 2006 11:06:44 PM UTC: {{{ Here is my patch to original u7z, fixed things: 1) Detection if we have 7z or only 7za installed. (With 7z we can work with all 7z-supported archives, i.e. CABs, etc... Only have to rename this script in ucab.) 2) Workaround for old version p7zip archives with prefix ./ in filenames. 3) Fixed directory creation in mcu7zip_mkdir, now it works properly. }}} " enhancement closed major 4.7.0-pre3 mc-vfs master fixed no branch commited-master
