Zbynek Vyskovsky commented on COMPRESS-391:
-------------------------------------------
The guys from Zip were quite quick, it's already published in preliminary
version:
https://support.pkware.com/display/PKZIP/Proposed+ZIP+Format+Specification+Additions
So probably worth sticking to this extra field and implement both reading and
writing... What do you think?

> Key: COMPRESS-391
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-391
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Archivers
> Affects Versions: 1.13
> Reporter: Zbynek Vyskovsky
> Labels: features, github-import, patch
> Fix For: 1.14

>
> Similarly to COMPRESS-390, there are requirements of the zip content to be
> mapped directly into memory and therefore may require special alignment on
> the embedded files. E.g. libraries may be aligned to page (4096-bytes)
> boundary, images on 4-bytes boundary etc. By alignment it's meant the offset
> from the beginning of file where the actual data stream starts, not the
> header.
> One of the cases was (still is?) Android APK for which zipalign utility was
> created.
> It would be useful if commons-compress ZipArchiveOutputStream supports
> something similar directly in its API.
