Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2002-12-17 Severity: wishlist * Package name : zziplib Version : 0.11.15 Upstream Author : Guido Draheim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://zziplib.sourceforge.net/ * License : LGPL Description : zip file access library
The ZZIPlib provides read access on ZIP-archives. The library uses only the patent-free compression-algorithms supported by Zlib. It provides functions that transparently access files being either real files or zipped files, both with the same filepath. The zziplib library offers users the ability to easily extract data from files archived in a single zip file. This way, programs that use many "read-only" files from a program specific source directory can have a single zip archive This library offers only a (free) subset of compression methods provided in a full implementation but that is well enough. The idea here is that zip/unzip utilities can be used to create archives that will later be read by using this library. Yet those programmes (or a library with their functionality) is not needed in that final operation. Note: Atleast one program (FreeCraft) that is packaged as a .deb has support for zziplib, but is compiled without it due to the lack of a .deb for this library. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux infinity 2.4.19 #11 Sat Oct 5 10:33:13 EDT 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US
