The zip contained four text files and a pdf.
The CTAN maintainers informed me that all files in the zip are
flagged as binaries and this makes it difficult for them to process
them further (they want to correct line feeds of the text files:
http://mirror.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/ctan/CTAN-upload-addendum.html#crlf)
By the way, a workaround for CTAN could be to extract the files using
unzip and zip them again using Info-ZIP zip (one of the "good zip
programs" mentioned on that website). The result will be a ZIP file
with text files flagged appropriately. Just saying.
Would it be possible to correct the zip-backend so that it flags
text files correctly? Or alternativly could one configure git
archive to use another zip programm?
We would have to detect the line ending format (DOS, Unix, Macintosh,
etc.) of each file, then set the attribute "t" (text) and the host
system. The detection would slow down archive creation a bit and the
resulting files would be different, of course, so this feature should
only be enabled by a new command line option. I'll take a look.
Actually its easier than that. unzip -a (with end-of-line conversion)
doesn't care for the actual format, it simply converts all occurrences
of CR, CRLF and LF to the appropriate newline chars for the platform it
is running on if the text flag is set. Files with mixed line endings
are normalized, i.e. they have a consistent end-of-line style afterward.
I'll send a first patch shortly.
