Hi, I've been eye balling the GIO docs for a while without finding in-/output for gzip compression... So if I missed it stop me now :-)
>From the looks of it, it should be straight forward to write GZip{In,Out}putStream classes based on zlib[1]. If I write these classes would a zlib dep. be OK for GIO? It is pretty ubiquitous as far as I can tell (and it is already a depency of Gtk+)... And I am not really all that keen on writing my own gzip/DEFLATE implementation (to say the least). Another thing is the naming. Since this is not about supporting the Zip archive format (but that would be nice too) the name GZip*Stream might be bad. On the other hand i abhor the ALLCAPS GZIPInputStream used in fx. Java. What about GGZip*Stream - eeek!? -- Cheers, Mikkel [1]: http://zlib.net/ _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
