a .zip file in upstream/?

Hello everybody,

I have an optional package to update, and the upstream releases it in
a .zip file. Is there anything preventing us from accepting them?

It seems that the code assumes a *.tar* pattern for the filename, and
so that I would have to turn the official .zip into a .tar.gz.

we had such a discussion before here, and the conclusion was that it's possible, and one can use

Python's zip library for unzipping. Not that it was followed through, IMHO

Oh I see.

Well, given that I am stuck home with a flu and headache I will give it a try. See if my brain in its current state can manage that.

Not sure that it will be very easy though, all our package management scripts are written in shell.

Maybe I should just add a python script sage-unzip that does the unzipping job.

I'll add a message here if anything happens.

Step 1: sage -unzip.

Let's see if one can fight a headache with sage scripts and pumpkin soup.

Step 2 is there:

Now we can have .zip tarballs. Well, there will be a review first.

No.

But I don't give up, there is some soup left.
