ripunzip-put

A tool to unzip files in parallel.

Forked from https://crates.io/crates/ripunzip

This is a Rust library (and command-line tool) which utilises the power of Rust's rayon library to unzip a zip file in parallel. If you're fetching the zip file from a URI, it may also be able to start unzipping in parallel with the download.

Why fork?

Features I need:

  • Add support for password unzip. Diff and issue

  • Unzip directly to cloud storage (for very large zip files)

Development

cargo criterion is used for performance testing, though the benchmark suite doesn't do a great job of simulating real conditions. In particular please be aware that this tool is often used on devices with spinny hard disks and very limited disk write bandwidth, so in different circumstances that may be the limiting circumstance, or network bandwidth, or CPU time. Please consider the impact of your changes on all these permutations.

Release procedure:

  1. Revise the version number
  2. cargo publish
  3. Retrieve the latest .deb file from the latest CI job
  4. Declare a new release and tag on GitHub
  5. As you make that release, include the .deb file as an artifact.

There's also cargo fuzz support for comparitive fuzzing against non-parallel unzipping to try to spot any unforeseen circumstances where we do anything differently. If you change the core unzipping logic please use this.
