FWIW there seem to be some alternative python interfaces: https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&term=libarchive&submit=search Maybe time to just retire python-libachive as nothing seems to require it. And fedora has: python2-libarchive-c.noarch : Python interface to libarchive python3-libarchive-c.noarch : Python interface to libarchive This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Created attachment 1207866 [details] Patch Description of problem: When readpath() is called with a filename (string) it is intended that any leading directories are created before writing the contents of the entry to a file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-libarchive-3.1.2.1-7.fc24.x86_64.rpm How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: The following code should extract all entries in an archive import os.path import stat import libarchive with libarchive.Archive("test.tar") as a: for entry in a: p = os.path.join("output", entry.pathname) if not stat.S_ISDIR(entry.mode): a.readpath(p) Actual results: IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory because directories do not exist Expected results: Archive extracted. Additional info: Patch to resolve this attached. I've looked for the upstream project to report this there but code.google.com gives 404.
