Subject: 23.2; arc-mode hosed with zip files
Date: Sat, 19 Jun 2010 16:59:36 +0300

This change:

  2010-02-01  Juri Linkov  <juri <at> jurta.org>

	  * arc-mode.el (archive-zip-extract): Use `member-ignore-case' to
	  compare with "pkunzip" and "pkzip" instead of only "pkzip".
	  In the `archive-extract-by-stdout' branch use `shell-quote-argument'
	  only when (car archive-zip-extract) is "unzip".  (Bug#5475)

makes arc-mode completely unusable for me with zip archives: trying to
display any file in the archive shows an error message like this:

  caution: filename not matched:  "src/libc/stubs/makefile"

The problem is that the file name is quoted, although we call unzip
via call-process.  The MS-Windows build of unzip does not seem to like
that.  (I have unzip version 5.51.)

This happens both with Emacs 23.2 and the current trunk.

Am I the only one with this problem?

If this happens for everyone else on Windows, I tend to disable the
quoting on DOS and Windows platforms, since being unable to display
files with unusual names is less problematic than being unable to
display _any_ file.

This is a known problem.  Please see bug#6144.

Unfortunately, I can't help because I don't use Windows.

I don't see any way of fixing this, except to not quote on DOS and
Windows platforms.  It looks like having such file names in zip
archives on Windows is asking for trouble anyway, as unzip.exe itself
does not support them even from the command line.

Objections, anyone?

Please go ahead, and please do the change in the emacs-23 branch so it
is included in 23.3.  Thanks.

I see it too with the trunk (didn't check with 23.X).

Go for it.
