I've seen you are integrating new upstream libarchive today.
Any particular reason to pick-up 3.0.0-r3950 and
not some "real" version like 3.0.2 ?

3.0.2 wasn't out when I started that topic.  I just took that day's
snapshot.  The main goal/achievement of the work in that topic is to
import upstream libarchive in a way that can be easily updated with
a new upstream version.

I did notice that this particular version may "unblock" a pending CMake issue
related to symbolic link handling in zip files, see:
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=10162

Not a big deal but it would be nice to integrate an upstream version
of libarchive
that handles symlinks in zip file.

The interesting upstream commit is slightly of r3950:

r3966 | ggcueroad | 2011-12-23 01:19:37 +0100 (ven. 23 déc. 2011) | 2 lignes
Add support for symlink to ZIP writer.

Nice.

Once the initial porting and dashboard cleanup work is done it will
be very easy to update to a more recent snapshot whenever we need to.
A good time to do it will be the first libarchive release that supports
this feature.
