Hello.

Windows 7 and 7-Zip 9.17 both see empty archive.
SHA1 hash matches (58E99635E3665CEE4F28C361E84DB32D43E4829E).

Seems something is wrong with archive.

ouch. the error is caused by relative paths in the zip file.

am making a new zip today.

thanks for finding the error. A workaround for now is to use the unix
unzip util.

spent half a day trying to rewrite the ErgoEmacs package building
elisp script.

ends up deleting my whole svn dir checkout by mistake. #$@&8! really
frustrated. Hates unix... guess cmd.exe is the same...

the root of the problem is that i want zip archive to not record the
full path, yet do not want to cd to the dir.

wrote the problem up here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4291737/creating-zip-without-recording-root-paths-programmatically

it seems this is not possible with any options of the command line
util “zip”.

So, at the end, i gave up and used cd, e.g.
(cd destDirRoot)
(shell-command (concat "zip -r " zipDirName ".zip " zipDirName ) )

and knew it's dangerous. First, by mistake i copied my entire home dir
to the zip destination dir.
(it was some gigabytes, was wondering why it took so long, so i
aborted)
Good thing no delete operation was done. Then, a second mistake now
just deleted my entire ErgoEmacs svn checkout... (again, lucky me that
my svn is all checked in so i didn't really lost any work.)

The thing with current dir env var concept is that, it's a global var.
Once you use that in a script, you have to be careful of every line of
the program, in particular, those involving relative paths. Even aware
of this, i still managed to make 2 mistakes...

very frustrated,

Xah

ErgoEmacs v1.9.1.1 is released.

download at
http://code.google.com/p/ergoemacs/downloads/list

this one is pretty much the same as v1.9.1.1.
It fixed the zip file problem, and the tabbar mode and twit.el mode
not working on linux due to letter case sensitivity.

For release notes, see:
http://ergoemacs.org/ErgoEmacs_Package_v1.9.1_release_notes.html

please post your comment and feedback, or bug report.

Note: it requires emacs 23.2.
The install instruction in the zip file has detail.

thanks to Ivan Vanyushkin for reporting the zip file problem, and
bohuslav.krivosik for reporting the tabbar.el problem (
http://code.google.com/p/ergoemacs/issues/detail?id=89 )
