Need an archive utility that can open "omni.ja" (Solved)
Hi all...
Can anyone recommend an archive utility that can get into "omni.ja" listed inside the seamonkey folder (usr/lib?)
The native archive utility in Ubuntu (which is what I use on my laptop,) is able to open this file but Puppy's can't.
Thanks...

Omni.ja ????
What is omni.ja used to ? It's big stuff !
"Note: Starting with Firefox 10 and Thunderbird 10, the file extension .ja is used because Windows System Restore does not back up files with the .jar extension, but it does back up .ja files. This change was needed to prevent Firefox from becoming corrupted."

In woofQ, the builder for EasyOS, the script buildeasydistro expands omni.ja, and puts it together again.
As omni.ja is inside q.sfs, a Squashfs file that is already compressed (gzip or xz), it slows down SeaMonkey/Firefox for omni.ja to also be compressed.
Hence, I expand it, then recreate the zip without any compression. Here is the code:

convert to omni.ja
Thank you very much for information.
1st short tests were successful.
what for a file type is the original omni.ja ?
Doesn't look like a regular zip file.
Header starts with: # 00 00 00 00 50 4B 01 02 ...
never heard before of this.
unzip is complaining too.
Hope not to lose information after repacking.
Most probably it's better to make the changes before compiling.
Once again thank you.

Re: convert to omni.ja
I have been doing this for a couple of years, for SeaMonkey, and omni.ja works after repacking. No discernable loss of data.norgo wrote:Thank you very much for information.

my purpose was to study wat are used for big stuff as omni.ja. I thought that was for Japanese users It is not and if you remove it, you will get problems. That was the only conclusion i Got for omni.ja
In fact omni is a java file.
