[sword-devel] zip/unzip weirdness technical advice please

[Peter von Kaehne]

To move on from the ugliness on the other thread a new one.

I would appreciate a heads up and some advice:

David has pointed at some serious corruption in the conf files.
Contrary to his assumption this has nothing to do with my computing a
conf file mechanism but happens somewhere en route between my finalised
conf file (which look more or less the same as the ones he wants me to
upload) and the ones which appear on the server. 

The ones on the server are bad. Seriously bad. 

This is what I do:

I zip a finalised module (conf file ok). I scp it to the server. I
unzip it in a staging area. I use the engine's installer to move it
from my staging area to the server's module area and move the zip to
the zip packages.

As both zip conf file and ftp conf file are the same way corrupted the
problem is in the zip/scp/unzip process.

Here is my conf file before it leaves:

Source text obtained in October 2015 from http://biblegeneve.com/nt1669
/ \par supplemented in a few places using the text read from scanned
pages \par in the zip download from http://www.fichier-zip.com/2013/03/
31/bible-geneve-1669-bibliorama-fr/ \par\par The orthography has some
quirks, such as "f" in words such as in "Paul prifonnier de Jefus
Chrift".\par The original would have used the archaic long letter
"ſ".\par Reverting these could not be easily scripted because the
letter "f" is also part of the French alphabet.\par A dictionary based
approach might be feasible, but there would still be many cases that
require a human decision \par (e.g. "fera" vs "ſera").\par Some
spellings are inconsistent. \par The italics markup in Luc was missing.
