#1 Zip archives won't unpack correctly

[Stuart G]

I've tried 2 different Win 10 boxes using the native unzip and 7-zip as well as Ubuntu. I cannot unpack several of the files in the zip. This is consistent for the last two zip checkins. What zip program did you use? Is there a way you can checkin the source code instead of a zip file?

Are you referring to the Zip files to be downloaded (under Files, like cbsg_185.zip) or to the Zip files generated by SourceForge under Code ("Download Snapshot" link). In both cases 7-Zip 17.01 finds them OK.
Which version of 7-Zip are you using ? (There is also AZip (shameless plug): @ https://azip.sourceforge.io/ )
The Zip program used is a Zip recompressor called ReZip.

I've put a Zip file with the latest version (rev. 187), packed with a newer version of ReZip which solves a glitch in relation to some versions of 7-Zip. Sounds complicated, doesn't it?

Thanks for the way to unpack it with AZip. Looks like I'll have to update my version of 7-zip. I still can't unpack it with the straight up Windows tool. I haven't tried ubuntu's unzip on the new archive.

From a s/w developer standpoint, why not just commit the raw files instead of zip archives? Just curious. Me, I tend to use revision control systems but that's a habit I picked up from work a long time ago.

Thanks again.
