Please work on this upstream if you are interested in this.  This is far
too invasive and substantail a change to be done locally in the Debian
package.

Would you like to help work on it?  Enrico Weigelt wrote a
prototype[1] which I suspect needs some testing and to be converted
into a patch series.

I would be glad to help but do not want to go it alone (because it can
be hard to deal with quiet upstreams like this).

Thanks for your interest,
Jonathan

Bug#574798: Please ship minizip as a shared library

2010-11-03 Thread Guillaume Yziquel 
Package: zlib
Severity: normal


I believe it would be a nice idea to have a minizip shared lib packaged. I feel 
the need for that when writig my own bindings, and I do not like very much the 
idea of copy-pasting code in place of linking properly.
