Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unzip
Using "zip" to archive a set of directories, where one or more sub
sirectories are symlinks, creates an archive that will not extract
properly on another machine. Just to clarify this is WITHOUT using the
-y switch (retain symlinks).
Unzip lists the directories and their contents correctly when using -l
switch, however attempting to extract them gives a stream of errors:
checkdir error: EngineTest/materials exists but is not directory
unable to process
EngineTest/materials/.svn/text-base/energy2_red.xml.svn-base.
checkdir error: EngineTest/materials exists but is not directory
unable to process
EngineTest/materials/.svn/text-base/charon_flare3.xml.svn-base.
checkdir error: EngineTest/materials exists but is not directory
unable to process
EngineTest/materials/.svn/text-base/charon_yellowclouds1.xml.svn-base.
.
.
...and finally...
finishing deferred symbolic links:
EngineTest/textures ->
/home/kazade/Desktop/mt-engine/build/codeblocks/textures
EngineTest/maps -> /home/kazade/Desktop/mt-engine/build/codeblocks/maps
EngineTest/materials ->
/home/kazade/Desktop/mt-engine/build/codeblocks/materials
Sorry for the short bug report, I'll expand on it if anyone asks.
