GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 730818
Hardlinks arent handled correctly
Last modified: 2020-11-11 19:14:49 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. Download http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/20/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-20-x86_64-DVD.iso 2. Open the ISO 3. Try to extract /isolinux/initrd.img (link to images/pxeboot/initrd.img) Actual results: An error occurs. Expected results: Should extract the linked file images/pxeboot/initrd.img See also: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335411 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720741 as they have the same problem.
I forgot some additional info: More information about hardlinks and libarchive: https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/wiki/Hardlinks And this is the original bug report: https://code.google.com/p/libarchive/issues/detail?id=362
Please note that I solved the hardlink problem for Boxes in vala, see https://bug730640.bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=282158 for example code. Would probably just need simple translation from vala to C for this to work in file-roller.
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time. If you still use file-roller and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/issues/ Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (volunteer workforce and time is limited).
