> I looked at minizip and there are some things to do there. In particular, you
> don't want the encryption. PKWare is pretty clear about that not being in the
> free part of Zip and I suspect the one kept in InfoZip may be defective. Also
> the ASF incubator proposal says there is no cryptography. (While it is now
> safe to publish crypto in open source, it must still be registered and the
> easy way to avoid that is not to provide any.)
> It looks like there are some changes needed to compile for x64 also. I got
> two build warnings about that when building under MSYS2 and g++.
> The first reference at the end of zip.h is incorrect and 404s. It should now
> be to
> http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/doc/appnote-19981119-iz.zip (apparently a
> Y2K-inspired change or simply done to align with the use of 20xx dates in
> that directory [;<).
> The PKWare reference is also incorrect. It would be better to use the APPNOTE
> reference that is used in common with OOXML and ODF.
> Because of the copyright on these files, it is not clear what the best way to
> adjust them is. Is there a link to where they were obtained that could be
> included in attribution in a derivative? Is anyone upstream accepting
> patches? This corrected link for the one in the beginning of zip.h is now:
> http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/minizip.html. It does offer minizip 1.1 and
> claim it works for x64 though.
> PS: That web page points out how to get zlib for Windows, etc.
> jan:
> Ups, I was sure crypt was removed, thanks for catching this.
> As peter mentioned, we should try to remove minizip, it is not really well
> suited to what we need (simple unpacking/packing of files).
