totem-like/firefox-like plugin installer for file-roller

Thanks for your report.

+1 for this

it is as simple as "sudo apt-get install unrar" etc, but so confusing to any new user who will think file-roller is flawed

I have written a patch to file-roller to handle 7zip, rar and ace archives.
Perhaps it would be useful
P.S. This is my first patch

thanks for your work, I've put a link to your patch on the upstream report to see what the developers think about it, thanks you.

+5! I have said the same in comments several times.

I have adapted the patch of Sergey to the latest intrepid version of file-roller (2.24.0-0ubuntu1) :).
This is my first patch (well and it's not mine...), so someone with experience should revise it.
The only thing that is missing in this patch2.0 is the part of the translation to russian. I have not added it because gedit doesn't display the characters :? By the moment, it works.

Nothing else, I'm sending it to upstream too.

This bug (or more like feature request) is a great idea. I really hope this can be implemented. I was very glad to find out that there is people working on patches for this already!!

i was about to fill a similar bug report so +1

Sergey, Pablo, this is great! Thanks for your efforts.

Some comments about the changes:
i) the new gnome-archive-install script would preferably be declared as a _SCRIPT rather than _DATA, and needs not be invoked with python (as it has a shebang); see also http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565879 which is about fixing the way isoinfo.sh is run and declared in Makefile.am

ii) the three new errors returning FR_PROC_ERROR_GENERIC, FR_PROC_ERROR_FORMAT_NOT_SUPPORTED, and FR_PROC_ERROR_GENERIC respectively all have the same description; would be best to use a different message for each error case so that we can easily identify the error when we receive bug reports with this message

iii) I'd like to find a way to upstream this; I expect GNOME upstream would rather have a PackageKit implementation (and for now I think Ubuntu would be best with this gnome-app-install based implementation), so perhaps it makes sense to have this plugin conditionally built, or use a wrapper which dispatches between a (to be written) PK implementation and our GAI one? Please share your thoughts!

iv) The patch requires some packaging changes (python policy compliance, new deps etc.), but I can take care of that

NB: This patch might allow us to save space on the CD by not installing all of file-roller's recommends and rely on the discovery mechanism for uncommon formats; so it's another plus for this patch.

Hello Loïc!
Just to say that unfortunately at these days I don't have any free time and I won't be able to revise the patch again at least until March.
So if any of you have any free time and can do it, please do it!

unsubscribing the sponsor team for now since there is some work required there

Karmic still doesn't offer to install unrar when trying to open a rar file.

I think this bug already being fixed by GNOME 2.30

from the GNOME 2.30 Release Notes:
"File Roller will install the necessary packages using PackageKit if an archive you are trying to open does not have the correct archive support installed."

http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.30/ 3.9

can anyone confirm this ?

Last comment from upstream:
>>>
2.30 was released with File Roller supporting PackageKit for installing missing
archives. I believe this bug can be closed now.
<<<
Therefore I am closing this bug. Thanks for reporting.

testing needed:

1. double clicking on rar file on ubuntu 10.04, will ask the user to install the missing archive (install and open ?)
2. double clicking on rar file on ubuntu 10.04, will open the file

Ok, you're. I tried on lucid, but I couln't open .rar or .7z archives out-of-the-box. No archive support installation prompt, not even after installing "packagekit-gnome". I left a comment at the upstream bug. Thanks.

I got a comment from upstream:
>>>
It's likely that the Ubuntu package is not compiled with package-kit support.
<<<
I am not so much into the build process of packages, but maybe someone knows where to look for information on how to do that, so it can be tested.

ubuntu is not using it because it's not working correctly on non rpm distributions

If I'm not wrong, isn't kubuntu using package-kit and apt/dpkg? What's preventing Ubuntu from doing the same?

setting to patch-needswork since the upstream patch is already in Ubuntu but the backend upstream is using is not standard in ubuntu

This is still an issue in Maverick.

This bug was fixed in the package file-roller - 2.32.1-0ubuntu2

---------------
file-roller (2.32.1-0ubuntu2) natty; urgency=low

  * debian/rules:
   - Enable packagekit support (LP: #148084)
  * debian/control
   - Recommends sessioninstaller | packagekit.
   - Depends on genisoimage to fix support for iso archive by default
     (LP: #689317)
  * debian/patches/90_hyphen_archive_creation.patch
   - From upstream, fix archive creation with an hyphen in the name
     (LP: #671691)

Subject: such an inspiration!

I say take it to the next level this year:

1. Weigh yourself immediately before and after, if possible. Get the weight of your poo each time and do the math at the end of the year.
2. Note the amount of tp squares you use and how many ply it is. Estimate how many rolls of tp you used at the end of the year.
3. Note the day/time of your poo, average when you're most likely to go throughout the day.
