zip tool

[jerry1]

Does anyone know where I can get the zip
binary/depot or source for HP-UX 11.11?

I have unzip but need zip.

The one from sourceforge.net does not compile
as generic. They did not have hp-ux as an
OS option for make.

The HP-UX Porting and Archive Centre (http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/) has one. You can also use jar from the JDK, since jar files are just zip files with some extra metadata stored as files in the archive.

Hi,

from Porting you can get that.

Wow! Thanks for the replies.

I used unzip on a zip file but cannot zip
it back with zip. I get the following mesg:

# zip 080318080130ictp3

zip error: Nothing to do! (080318080130ictp3.zip)

Hi,

the message
zip error: Nothing to do! (080318080130ictp3.zip)

is nearly selfexplanatory: zipping wouldn't do a good job because the result has a bigger size than the original file.
Try another example (e.g. /etc/hosts).

How large is the file?
Are you zipping and unzipping on a filesystem with largefiles enabled?

Try "zip -h" for syntax guidance. Zip is not
gzip. A command like this, for example, may
work better:

zip 080318080130ictp3.zip 080318080130ictp3


> How large is the file?

A fair question, but probably not the problem
here. If you do get into the 2GB (and up)
range, see:

The current pre-release ("BETA") kits (see
reference above) should do better. You may
see some residual spurious compiler
complaints when using the bundled C compiler,
but those should be gone from whetever
follows Zip 3.0g and UnZip 6.0d.

Apparently not nearly enough.

True, but the usual result in that case is
that Zip stores the file instead of
compressing it:

alp $ zip xzip.zip X.ZIP
adding: X.ZIP (stored 0%)


The "Nothing to do!" message is trying to
tell the user that he specified no input
files to archive. It doesn't say exactly
that, because there are other possible tasks
which don't involve specifying any input
files, but he hasn't asked to do any of
those, either. (It's not a great message,
but it's concise.)

Hi,

here at my hp (rp3410, 11i), I get:
root@hp9[216] zip uu.zip example
adding: example (deflated 86%)
root@hp9[217] mv uu.zip uu
root@hp9[218] zip uu

zip error: Nothing to do! (uu.zip)
root@hp9[219] ls -l u*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 1269 Mar 18 19:04 uu

As I said:

zip uu.zip uu

or even:

zip uu uu

Geez I'm stupid. Yes, it has not changed
so there is nothing to do to it to replace
the exsiting one that I had unziped from.

Duh.

[Steven Schweda]

> Geez I'm stupid.

More evidence required, but I'm not ruling it
out yet.

> Yes, it has not changed

Yes and no. Zip's first argument is always
the archive, so:

zip 080318080130ictp3

spews:

zip error: Nothing to do! (080318080130ictp3.zip)

because you've specified the archive,
080318080130ictp3 (".zip" is assumed), but
no files to add to it, and no other actions,
either.

If:

unzip 080318080130ictp3.zip

creates (only) "080318080130ictp3", then

zip 080318080130ictp3.zip 080318080130ictp3

should update/re-create 080318080130ictp3.zip
(depending on whether 080318080130ictp3.zip
already/still exists or not).

In case that horse is not quite completely
dead yet, the "Nothing to do!" message is
caused by a shortage of Zip options and/or
arguments, not by the contents of any file.
