Thinking about the problem... I think about writing a small program to compress
a directory.
Here is the pseudocode I have come up to now:
Function compress_topdir(path)
if path reference a zip file
decompress zip file to some_dir
compress_dir(some_dir)
else
compress_dir(path)
Function compress_dir(dir)
if dir contains only one directory file /* Gitlab zip file */
compress_dir(dir,"")
else
compress_dir(dir,dir)
Function compress_dir (dir, tuncated_path)
For each file in dir hereby named f
f_truncated=truncate_name(f) /* to 8.3 format */
if f is a dir
truncated_path = truncated_path + '/' + f_truncated
add truncated_path/f_truncated empty directory to zip
compress_dir(dir, truncated_path)
else /* a file */
copy dir/f to a temporary file named f_truncated
update zip by adding truncated_path + "/" + f_truncated
delete temporary file named f_truncated
Hope it make some sense... and that you don't feel flooded with useless
information.
Might consider to make it as a Perl script.
Mostly because I consider learning Rakudo (Perl v. 6).... but really would do
it in plain Perl v.5. for it is installed on most Linux.
