Subject: bug#5540: 23.1.92; failed to access zip inside zip when not using tramp
Date: Sun, 07 Feb 2010 19:01:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87vde9m7dn.fsf@mail.jurta.org> (raw)

The fix revno#98570 for bug#4929 (with the subject "failed to access file
inside zip archive when using tramp") broke the ability to visit a file
in an archive inside another archive.

The problem is in the following lines in `archive-extract':

	    ;; Just in case an archive occurs inside another archive.
	    (when (derived-mode-p 'archive-mode)
              (setq archive-remote t)

This means that nested archives are treated as remote files.

An example of a patch that fixes this bug for nested archives:

=== modified file 'lisp/arc-mode.el'
--- lisp/arc-mode.el	2010-02-04 18:54:46 +0000
+++ lisp/arc-mode.el	2010-02-07 17:01:18 +0000
@@ -842,7 +842,7 @@ (defun archive-unique-fname (fname dir)
 	      "am"
 	    "arc-mode.")
 	  dir)))
-    (if (or alien (file-exists-p fullname))
+    (if (or alien (not (file-exists-p fullname)))
 	(progn
 	  ;; Maked sure all the leading directories in
 	  ;; archive-local-name exist under archive-tmpdir, so that

But this patch should NOT be installed, because it causes the original
remote archive to be overwritten!  This is just a demonstration of the
logic for nested archives.

I currently don't understand the decision to use archive-remote=t
for nested archives (this is an old decision), but perhaps they
should be distinguished from remote archives with a new variable
or a new value of `archive-remote'?
