Hello Pierre, thanks for offering your help! commons-compress currently has some drawbacks. Torsten and I started a redesign. Since I am not a committer of Apache, we started this redesign as GIT repository. Once we feel that commons-compress is in a good state, Torsten (or another interested committer) will put that compress code into the apache-codebase. As soon as a compress-release is done, VFS will delete all compress code von its codebase and depend on commons-compress.
You can start immediatly if you install GIT. On a Windows box I have good expierence with cygwin (simply choose GIT in the installer), on a Mac box I use ports. To check out: git clone git://projects.grobmeier.de/compress-redesign.git You should have a copy of my repos. Of course you have to sync with Torsten repos too. git pull git://vafer.org/compress.git Do some changes. After that you can publish your repos to any webhost and we can pull your stuff. At the moment i have several items on my list, for example: - update zip code with code from ant (I do that currently) - enhance TestCases - implement more of ChangeSet - general clean up - integrate with maven again (its broken) Thanks, Chris.
