 headius | ok I think I have an answer | 21:37:18 |
| headius | https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9790 | 21:37:38 |
| headius | this was just fixed this year and adds "zcat" for reading gzip contents that were made from multiple files | 21:37:57 |
| headius | before this there's no way to uncompress pass the first file | 21:38:05 |
| headius | so I did a test | 21:38:23 |
| headius | https://gist.github.com/headius/d8932c636c21918b3269c96a5d50e11b | 21:38:23 |
| headius | this seems to be the same behavior, size is only reflecting the first file provided | 21:38:39 |
| headius | arguably it's a gzip bug | 21:38:46 |
| headius | this would also explain why this file uncompresses exactly 32 lines plus newline and then quits... that was the end of the first file | 21:39:16 |
| headius | there doesn't seem to be a way to get gzip to show the multiple files used | 21:39:26 |
 enebo | heh...so what is the turd now | 21:39:52 |
| enebo | is it people concat'ing n zip files into a single file and expecting it to work because gunzip does | 21:40:16 |
| enebo | I guess I don't even care and it appears zcat will work | 21:40:37 |
| headius | basically gzip allows you to specify multiple files that are logically concatenated into the gzip stream | 21:42:44 |
| headius | uncompressing normally will just produce the cat'ed content of those files | 21:42:59 |
| headius | that behavior is not directly supported at the zlib level until the addition of zcat... so presumably gunzip and friends just did the logic at the tool level up until then | 21:43:38 |
| headius | but GzipReader in Ruby does not do it | 21:43:49 |
 byteit101 | headius: Let me know if there's a better spot to discuss concrete constructors in than https://github.com/jruby/jruby/issues/449 (ooh, 3 digit issue!) | 22:41:33 |
| headius | Hah yeah knock down those old bugs | 22:42:27 |
| byteit101 | I filed that issue, and then promptly copied the javafx launcher monstrosity into ruby :-D | 22:43:48 |
