Zip64 support

2011-07-20 Thread Chris Bamford
Hi,

Can someone please tell me the status of Zip64 support in commons:compress?
I read that it was supposed to go into 1.1, but I don't know how to tell.

Thanks

- Chris

No support at all, sorry.

 I read that it was supposed to go into 1.1, but I don't know how to tell.

The people (myself included) who thought they might find time to do it
ran out of steam and available time prior to the release and so far
nobody has stepped up and provided patches to add support.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-36 is used to track
(the lack of) progress.

I wish I had a more positive answer

  Stefan

At least Java 7 will support it:

Interesting.

I think many of the reasons that made the Ant team develop the original
ZIP package in 2001 (permissions, file name encoding and much more) may
finally be addressed by NIO2 and some of them even in java.util.zip
directly.

And now we have some catching up to do, maybe we can do that in less
than 10 years 8-)
