[Bug 1413069] Re: unpacking mpackages stalls
Update from Stephen:
In passing I have had some joy in improving package installation as
mentioned in bug 1413069 - it seems that not all archive production
programs follow the step of including a zip archive entry (of zero file
size) with a name ending in '/' to indicate a (sub)directory in the
archive - I have successfully overcome that problem by scanning through
all the entries looking both for those entries and for filenames
containing '/' in places other than the first or last character. After
creating any destination paths needed for those sub-directories I have
then been able to extract all the contents required on a second pass. I
only found out about this happening when I had put error messages (using
Host::mTelnet.postMessage) up on the main console, so I do have a fix
for this but it needs further work to put in error handling all the way
through the file handling stuff in all of Host's methods and other
relevant classes....

Title:
unpacking mpackages stalls
Status in Mudlet the MUD client:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In Mudlet 3.0 preview D, adding a mpackage on windows stalls. It just
sits there saying 'unpacking...'
The easiest way to test is to just try to connect to GodWars 2 from
the main GUI. It'll download a package and then just sit there.
However, I also ran into the problem when downloading a .mpackage from
the forum, it just doesn't seem to unpack anything at all.
There's no error messages in the debug console.
