Debian package is not extracted recursively

[pombredanne]

I create a "scan_single_package" project using http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/elfutils/elfutils_0.188-2.1_amd64.deb as an input.
The package is not fully extracted recursively, even though the settings are to extract recursively

@pombredanne Could you add the recurse option to the extractcode.api.extract_archive function?

[pombredanne]

extractcode.api.extract_archive cannot recurse
For this you need to use: extractcode.api.extract_archives instead and extract in-place

[tdruez]

@pombredanne The current implementation of extraction for the single package scan is to extract directly the single archive to the codebase work directory.
The extractcode.api.extract_archives extracts in place, so we need to copy the input archive first. This would change the scan root directory of 1 level.
Are you sure you want to apply this change?

Current:

Using extracts:

We could add a new step to run the extract_archives after extracting the single archive to the codebase dir.

[pombredanne]

Ok, then may be you could keep the extraction the way it is today and add a call to extractcode.api.extract_archives() afterwards to force recursion?

Fixed in #1083
