Re: Unzipping large ZIP files

Hi Jostein,

we developed a simple unzip step that extracts a zip file into a output 
directory. You can either check out our entire calabash repository via 
SVN here or simply adopt our Java class and xproc-configuration.

https://subversion.le-tex.de/common/calabash/

The output of the step is a XML representation of the unzip directory. 
Here is a XProc example:

<p:declare-step
     xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc"
     xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc-step"
     xmlns:letex="http://www.le-tex.de/namespace"
     version="1.0">
     
     <p:input port="source">
         <p:empty/>
     </p:input>
     <p:output port="result"/>
     
     <p:option name="zip" required="true"/>
     <p:option name="path" required="true"/>
     
     <p:import href="../ltx-lib.xpl"/>
     
     <letex:unzip name="unzip">
         <p:with-option name="zip" select="$zip"/>
         <p:with-option name="dest-dir" select="$path"/>
         <p:with-option name="overwrite" select="'yes'"/>
     </letex:unzip>
     
</p:declare-step>

Kind regards,

Martin
