Info-ZIP zip and unzip are two different programs, each with their own version numbers. >> Also, what is the difference between t/trash/a and t/trash/d/a after >> running the test script (that's what test 21 is comparing)? > > $ diff -Naur t/trash/a t/trash/d/a > diff -Naur t/trash/a/l1 t/trash/d/a/l1 > --- t/trash/a/l1 2007-09-17 23:10:03.000000000 +0200 > +++ t/trash/d/a/l1 2007-09-17 23:10:03.000000000 +0200 > @@ -1 +1 @@ > -simple textfile > +a > \ No newline at end of file Ah! l1 is a symlink to a. The target of a symlink is stored as file content in a ZIP archive and marked with a special flag. An unzipper that doesn't understand this flag would create a file containing the link target's name instead of a symlink pointing to the target. The unzip on my system says: $ unzip -v UnZip 5.52 of 28 February 2005, by Ubuntu. Original by Info-ZIP. Latest sources and executables are at ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/ ; see ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/UnZip.html for other sites. Compiled with gcc 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4) for Unix (Linux ELF) on Mar 31 2007. UnZip special compilation options: ACORN_FTYPE_NFS COPYRIGHT_CLEAN (PKZIP 0.9x unreducing method not supported) SET_DIR_ATTRIB TIMESTAMP USE_EF_UT_TIME USE_UNSHRINK (PKZIP/Zip 1.x unshrinking method supported) USE_DEFLATE64 (PKZIP 4.x Deflate64(tm) supported) VMS_TEXT_CONV WILD_STOP_AT_DIR [decryption, version 2.9 of 05 May 2000] I suspect you need SET_DIR_ATTRIB in order to extract symlinks.
