** Description changed:

- Please consider upgrading libzip to the newest version (currently 1.20).
- It comes with important changes (details here:
- https://nih.at/libzip/NEWS.html) and also it's used by ark since commit
- ee74c157daf3604277ffcf10d2a89b2b59556dd7:
+ Feature Freeze Justification
+ ============================
+ This release fixes to two CVE's and most notably has removed its custom AES 
crypto implementation with using openssl libraries. It is for the security 
reasons I am requesting this FFe this late in the cycle.
  
- Add libzip plugin
- A new plugin for libzip was added. The plugin is only built if libzip
- 1.20 or higher is installed, but is the preferred plugin for zip
- archives.
+ Other Changes:
+ - A bunch of bug fixes
+ - A number of new features like bzip2 (this optional and could be disabled 
for 18.04), improved AES encryption support, some of the new features are other 
platforms only
+ - Breaks API (only 1 symbol was removed though), soname bump, so will require 
a mini transition, all the 23-odd reverse-depends that I count are in universe. 
+ - they appear to have dropped their custom AES implementation in favour of 
using openssl (this should be a plus!)
+ - Build system switched to Cmake in latest release
+ 
+ 
+ Testing:
+ It has a fairly comprehensive test suite, but I did have to disable for now, 
a few problematic tests that fail in the launchpad buildd chroots, but not 
elsewhere like local machine or Debian schroot.
+ 
+ I have run a test rebuild for all the rdepends in ppa:darkxst/libzip.
+ All built successfully, except for 2 packages, cbmc and plume-creater
+ that had unrelated fallout due to gcc7 and other packaging changes.
+ 
+ Other Notes: 
+ - There are a bunch of presumably private symbols leaked into the debian 
symbols file. Not ideal, but probably not the only package in the archive like 
that.
+ - I will follow up with upstream issues for the RPATH stuff, tests and 
symbols later
+ - I will also push for the update into Debian
+
