Now, we wants to add Zim files support but we're stuck due to the
compression format: Zim files are generated using the LZMA2 format which
is not easily available on the Android / Java platform. On the other
hand, the OpenZim website lists gzip and bz2 as possible compression
format for Zim files. Would it be possible to generate a Zim file with of
those compression formats? Or is the documentation on the website out of
date?
Documentation is not up to date :(
To simplify the dependences, the last version of the ZIM format only
recognizes one container/algorithm and this is xz/lzma2. This has been
decided at last dev. meeting. Please correct me Tommi if I'm wrong.
I think if we want to support another couple container/algorithm, this
newcomer has to bring really technical advantages. We should not switch
or add dependences only because one language/platform requires it...
Otherwise we will never find a sustainable solution.
So, my approach would be here to try to support the xz/lzma2 couple in
java.
I see here two possibilities:
* Code the library directly in java
* Use libxz native code in java
What about these strategies?
