Bad CHARSET in filenames of zip archives, created with ubuntu

[Murz]

I try to create a zip archive on Ubuntu (using Ubuntu 9.04 AMD64) with non-latin symbols in filename that opens correctly on Windows XP but can't do it.

All non-latin (Russian) symbols shows in Windows XP (I try standart support of ZIP in WinXP and 7zip on windows) bad.

For example, I create the file named "тестовый_файл.txt" and try to pack via standart zip and 7z:
$ 7z a ./test_linux_7z.zip ./тестовый_файл.txt
$ zip -r ./test_linux_zip.zip ./тестовый_файл.txt

And I try to create the archive on Windows XP via internal zip (test_win_winxp.zip) and 7zip (test_win_7z.zip)

After that I can correctly view the filename in all files in Linux:
$ unzip -l ./test_linux_zip.zip
        4 07-07-09 18:49 тестовый_файл.txt
$ unzip -l ./test_linux_7z.zip
        4 07-07-09 18:49 тестовый_файл.txt
$ unzip -l ./test_win_winxp.zip
        4 07-07-09 18:49 тестовый_файл.txt
$ unzip -l ./test_win_7z.zip
        4 07-07-09 18:49 тестовый_файл.txt

But on WINDOWS I try to list filenames in archives that created on linux, but it shows bad:

E:\murz\arch>"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" l test_linux_zip.zip

2009-07-07 18:49:14 ....A 4 4 тестовый_файл.txt

And if I try to list via Windows internal zip, I see bad filename too (results are on attached screenshot).

I have attached to bug all created files for testing.

How I can correctly create a zip archive on Ubuntu that normally extracts on windows?

I searched that for correct filenames in zip on Windows it must be stored in DOS (CP866) encoding. But I can't find how to force zip command create filenames in DOS encoding.

Command unzip have an options for working with DOS encoding:
$ unzip --help
  -O CHARSET specify a character encoding for DOS, Windows and OS/2 archives
  -I CHARSET specify a character encoding for UNIX and other archives

But zip didn't work with this options:
$ zip -O DOS -r ./test2.zip ./тестовый_файл.txt
zip error: Invalid command arguments (no such option: O)

I have tested this bug on Arch Linux Live CD (2009.02) and it have no problems! Locale is ru_RU.UTF-8, I have created a test file "тестовый_файл.txt", pack it with Context menu of Konqueror to zip, and after that it correctly unpacked on Windows XP. File, created with archlinux, is attached.
I think we need to compare sources of zip in ArchLinux and Ubuntu for find solution. If I found something, I'll post here.

Sorry, posted before is about Alt Linux LiveCD (4.1.1) and zip file is from it too. Tested with altlinux-4.1.1-desktop-x86_64-live-cd.iso

Confirm this bug.

This bug is still present on Lucid Alpha 3, zip 3.0-2. I have to use Windows XP (in VirtualBox) to do something such basic as creating a zip archive containing filesnames with non-ASCII characters. It's very hard to explain to somebody that Ubuntu is a modern and fully functional OS then.

Same problem here regarding extended latin characters (á, â, ô, ó etc.).

A workaround can be done installing Wine and the latest WinZip (or WinRAR).

This problem exists for me. It's quite irritating. I now try to zip files from windows.
