Fixed XenForo 2.0 Requirements Test Contains __MACOSX Directory

Affected version

2.0-DP10

The xenforo2-requirements-test.zip file contains __MACOSX directory. I think it is not really a bug, but unnecessary.

Someone forgot delete it

I guess it is a hidden folder in MacOS, hence it is very easy to forget to exclude it when zipping a parent directory.

It's actually a file that gets created by MacOS when you zip a file using the UI zip feature so it's not something that can be excluded AFAIK

Well, in that case it can perhaps be deleted from within the zip file, after creation. Alternatively, command line can be used to create the zip. This file is not going to change very often, so either approach would be fine.

Yep there is a command you can use to remove it, and the CLI `zip` command won't add it

That should be sorted now.

For reference, the command you can use to remove it is zip -d your-archive.zip "__MACOSX*".
