If you pick up the latest code from Ant instead you'll see they are the same 8-) They even are used by projects during Gump runs while compress is an island right now. > What's the current status of the codebase? I'm not sure about the state of the different packages. The zip, bzip and tar packages are basically identical with Ant's trunk right now, which means pretty stable and well tested for the parts that are used by Ant - despite the problems the tar package may have when used as a standalone library (SANDBOX-280, -282 and -284). The zip package will need some work before I'd call it ready for 1.0 - SANDBOX-292 and -293. Shouldn't be a matter of more than a week or two, though. I'd love to work on Zip64 support (archiving files > 2GB), but this can wait until 1.1. I'm not sure about the status of Christian's work on changeset support. 1.0 should have a stable API, at least, IMHO. And I have absolutely no clue about the ar and cpio packages. > Any plans of graduation to Commons proper and of doing a 1.0 > release? Well, my vote wouldn't be binding anyway 8-) Right now compress has some momentum and it may be a good idea to use that. At least I'll probably lower my activity once the zip stuff is done (which I wanted to do for Ant anyway) because there are so many other things distracting me.
