* Package name : libquazip1-qt5 Version : 1.3 Upstream Author : Sergey A. Tachenov <ser...@tachenov.name> * URL : https://github.com/stachenov/quazip * License : zlib, LGPL-2.1 with static linking exception Programming Lang: C, C++ Description : Qt/C++ wrapper over minizip - Version 1 (Qt5) QuaZip is the C++ wrapper for Gilles Vollant's ZIP/UNZIP package (AKA Minizip) using Trolltech's Qt library. While quazip is already packaged in Debian, it's version 0.9.1. The author of quazip has stated that versions 1.x are meant to be used alongside 0.x and not as an upgrade/replacement, like how Qt5 is still packaged alongside Qt6. This package is for versions 1.x of quazip built for Qt5. I'm packaging it at the request of Filippo Rusconi (context below). I do not plan to package this inside a team, unless one expresses interest. I will need a sponsor at first as I'm only a DM.
