  • Adding supported_formats to Archive

    From nelgin@1:103/705 to Digital Man on Sat Oct 3 03:50:27 2026
    I'm wanting to add .gz files as supported types for Archive.

    I added gz as a supported type in scfg > File Options

    $ jsexec -n -r 'Archive.supported_formats.forEach(function(f){ print(f); })' zip
    7z
    tgz
    gz


    but I get the following:

    bbs@bbs:/sbbs/mods$ jsexec -n archive read /var/log/sbbs/web.sbbs.log.1.gz !JavaScript /sbbs/exec/archive.js line 49: Error: archive_read_open_filename() returned -30: Unrecognized archive format
    !Module (archive) set exit_code: 1

    I've obviously missed a step but I'm not sure what. Open to suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Howdy,

    I'm wanting to add .gz files as supported types for Archive.

    I added gz as a supported type in scfg > File Options
    but I get the following:

    bbs@bbs:/sbbs/mods$ jsexec -n archive read /var/log/sbbs/web.sbbs.log.1.gz !JavaScript /sbbs/exec/archive.js line 49: Error: archive_read_open_filename() returned -30: Unrecognized archive format !Module (archive) set exit_code: 1

    I've obviously missed a step but I'm not sure what. Open to suggestions?

    "gz" files are not an archive? "gz" is a compression method and represents a single file compressed.

    eg: "tar.gz" is a tar file (an archive), but its been compressed by "gz".

    You're still restricted by what libarchive supports and it doesn't support raw 'gzip' (gz) files.

    Tell me something I don't know. libarchive also says it supports .gz format.
