Is there an option to fall back to the older v.1.2.8 implementation if
necessary ? It would certainly alleviate issues for any applications
that might run into issues with the latest and greatest zlib
libraries. JDK-8133206 would be one such example.
Just at build time but if the zlib on the platform is broken then it
impacts tools and probably lots of things. I would assume the OS would
patch such issues quickly. In the case of JDK-8133206 then was the issue
addressed in the libzip wrapper or in the zlib code? I thought it was
the former.
On a fallback or some way to configure at launch time then Sandhya
Viswanathan (Intel) has a proposal here last year. I think we mostly
agreed on that thread that switching the build to use the system zlib by
default would be better.
