New submission from Ronald Oussoren: The zipfile format (as described by .zip file format specification) allows for storing extra unix data, such as symlinks and device nodes in zipfile.
Storing at least symlinks would be useful, and is supported by the infozip tools as well (the command-line zip and unzip commands on Linux systems). An implementation would use the "UNIX Extra Field (0x000d)" to store this information. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 193915 nosy: ronaldoussoren priority: normal severity: normal stage: test needed status: open title: zipfile: symlinks etc. type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18595> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
