Eliminating internal zlib.

2008-08-18 Thread Jeff Johnson

Alexey's flushing patches to rpmio/gzdio.c make the need for internal
zlib (with Rusty Russel's --rsyncable padding) superfluous.

Should I rip out internal zlib on HEAD and rpm-5.1.4? I see no reason  
not
to start this effort, and am fighting dueling -lz - -lrpmz if  
building --without-neon
anyways. Ripping out internal zlib and backporting rpmio/gzdio.c is  
likely

the best long term fix.
