[Distutils] bug in archive_util.unpack_archive ?

[Godefroid Chapelle]

Hi,

I think there is a bug in archive_util.unpack_archive.

The following procedure has been tested with setuptools 0.6c7
under MacOSX 10.4.10, Mac OSX 10.5.1 and Ubuntu 7.10

Download archive :
http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/textindexng/TextIndexNG3-3.1.8.tar.gz

Test it :

tar -xzf TextIndexNG3-3.1.8.tar.gz

cd TextIndexNG3

ls -al

Unpack it with setuptools function :

python2.4

 >>> from setuptools import archive_util
 >>> archive_util.unpack_archive('TextIndexNG3-3.1.8.tar.gz', 'dest')

cd dest/

ls -al TextIndexNG3/

As you can see the output with unpack_archive in uncomplete.
