Should this project have a future? about node-unzip HOT 12 OPEN

I currently use unzip for a simple web service. It's nice to have it work using streams so I can pipe uploaded files through to disk (using busboy).

The input is usually well-formed, so the possible niggles haven't really been a big deal for me. Nor do I think there really are additional features that I wish it had, I just pipe stuff in from one to the other.

Anyway, this is more a note of encouragement to say that I do use it!

I also use it @EvanOxfeld - Not through choice but through adoption, it just caught me out though on the latest node :P

I use it, and I am successful using it to do stuff that fails instead using NodeJS' standard zlib.

@EvanOxfeld: Thanks for the mention of decompress (I assume you mean https://github.com/bower/decompress-zip, not https://github.com/kevva/decompress). I don't need streaming support, so it fits my needs -- it was surprisingly hard to find.

I don't have a stake in the future of this lib, but my 2c is you might try @brianc's approach & just add everyone who has ever made a decent contribution as an owner & see if anyone steps up & helps maintains it.

I use it in my personal projects, and for the sake of this project it's better to make a stable version asap.

@EvanOxfeld I'd be happy to do a little bit of maintenance on this project if you make me a collaborator. Merge some pull requests, look at some issues, etc. See my GitHub profile for evidence that I know what I'm doing.

Thanks for this project. It is going to be very useful for me and the project I'm working on. I've learned a lot about the zip format and parsing it by looking over your code and then reading up on the spec. Unfortunately it was to debug an issue that I did not realize has been fixed by unzip2.

It would be good to either pass this repo onto glebdmitriew of unzip2 or someone else (I'd do it) or simply put a note at the top of the readme recommending people switch to unzip2.

This module is maintained: https://github.com/thejoshwolfe/yauzl

from node-unzip.

true but unfortunately yauzl doesn't support streaming of the source zip file and so is not suitable for a for my projects needs

from node-unzip.

@EvanOxfeld I personally need an unzip lib supporting stream because my use case is:

1. download a big zipped file (hundreds of megas to few gigas)
2. unzip
3. upload to another server

If you do not want/can manage this project, you should add maintainers instead of letting it die (lots of unanswered issues/PRs). Here are some potential candidates:

• @glebdmitriew: who forked as node-unzip2
• @maxired: who forked as unzip-maxired
• @austinhallock: who forked as clay-unzip2

The more maintainers, the less work for everyone.
