about zlib on FreeBSD
Jiandong Lu
the library libz on FreeBSD does not compiles minizip. Should we merge minizip into libz ?
Minizip's licence is the same to zlib,so there is no licence barrie.
minizip has only three samll *.c files.If we merge minizip into libz, libz's size would not be larger too much.
btw,I maintain some servers both on windpws and FreeBSD now.They use zlib on windows,and I have compiled minizip on FreeBSD for my projects.I hope that minizip
will be merged into libz on FreeBSD.
Thanks

Firstly, zlib is one thing and one thing only, namely the reference
implementation of Jean-Loup Gailly's gzip (aka. deflate) compression
algorithm. See zlib.net.
Secondly, Microsoft don't maintain official packages of third-party
software, so there is no such thing as "zlib package of ms windows".
Various projects (Cygwin, MSYS, MinGW, GNUWin32) ship pre-compiled zlib
binaries for Windows, but none of the four I mentioned include zip
support in their version of zlib.

No. Why should we?
If you want to create or unpack .zip files on FreeBSD, use tar(1).

it can create zipfiles.
It it can create them that would be handy.

Huh, I thought Tim had fixed that long ago. Well, there's always
/usr/ports/archivers/zip, or you can send patches to kientzle@ :)

The support for zip creation hasn't been merged yet.

I finally got around to merging this.
After rebuilding libarchive and tar, tar -c --format=zip
should work.
Note: The zip writer does have room for improvement; if
anyone's interested in a side project, it would
be great to get ZIP64 support and a few other details
filled in.

Just to be clear, I finally got around to merging
this from the Googlecode repository to FreeBSD-CURRENT.
I'll merge it into 8-STABLE in a few more weeks.
