 camlgz provides in-memory zipping and unzipping while camlzip only
 provides zipping and unzipping from files.

Ok, but is it a libgzip or whatever binding, or pure ocaml stuff ? I guess i
should look at the package and will have the answer instead of asking here :)

Friendly,

 I've created a new Debian package of CamlGz, a binding for the zlib
 and bzip2 libraries. I need this package for the demexp project, but I
 don't know if you are interested in uploading it into Debian.

So it looks like a wrapper for the C library, whereas camlzip is pure OCaml.

Hi,

 I am curious, how does camlgz compare with camlzip ? 

Eric Cooper said on July, 29th:

« I'd like to see this in Debian so I can use it in approx.  Right now I
am forking gunzip/bunzip2 processes with Sys.command (and that's still
faster than using Camlzip). »

On my side, I'm simply packaging it because the demexp project needs it.
Maybe David Mentré (the demexp developer) will give his motivations
behind the choice of camlgz instead of camlzip.

Sincerly,

Thomas
