(originally it used the cvs service but it - is now switched over to the svn serivce) Since 0.13.x the zziplib - is using the version control system as the main area to host - the source code in the module "zzip-0". You can get a snapshot - from that area anytime, the access details can be found under the - link above. All later releases are actually snapshots of some - cvs day. (Prior releases had seen too many reshuffling of the - build system which cvs is not the best tool to handle gracefully. - Since the switch to svn also refactoring can be tracked just fine). -</P> -<P> - I was using the sourceforge compilefarm to do remote testing of - releses for crossplatform compatibility. This included usually - some unix compatible platforms such as Linux, Solaris, - FreeBSD, Darwin/MacOSX including i386, amd64, sparc, sparc64, - powerpc when available. Even the latest daytoday cvs snapshots - should be fine for these platforms. However sourceforge has - shut down the compilefarm just as HP closed the teamdrive - service for the public. At the moment I am using the buildservice - at build.opensuse.org to test multiple platforms atleast with - the help of a "make check" minimal unittest during the rpmbuild. -</P> -<P> - In the labs of my former employer some more platforms exist but these - were only checked once in a few months, mostly summertime and christmas - season if the general workload is low. That included hp/ux but more - importantly a real MSVC6 installation and a few PCs with win32 flavours. - I do not use win32 at home! Any help in that area is greatly appreciated, - the zziplib was written in strict ansi-C but the build system and dll hell - is sometimes very weird for win32 platforms. I feel it often requires - experienced hands to detect the source of a problem should there be one. -</P> -<P> - Note also that I do not use PHP, there is a regular flow of questions - circulating around the php-zip module which is built around zziplib. But - I can not answer any questions about the build and installation for that. - It would be greatly appreciated if I can find contact to a PHP hacker - to whom I can forward php related mails! The php zip wrapper is not part - of the zziplib in any way. -</P> -<P> - Since there is an MSVC6 system in reach now, I have not been updating my - gcc/mingw32 installations as rigidly as most other win32 developers - have. I understand there are great advancements in the msys/mingw32 area - and the provided technology which made them follow quickly. However in - the labs only some older releases are used for these are called more - "stable". Remember that I do not use win32 at home, only crosscompile to - mingw32 is checked out sometimes but I know that it is somewhat different - than the selfhosted msys environment. Any help is greatly appreciated. -</P> -<P> - Lastly, I am trying to make the zziplib as close as possible to the - thing called "industrial strength". But remember that this is still - an opensource spare time probject. <b>I take patches</b>! Many of the - interesting parts of zziplib have been introduced by submission which - I have later integrated more heavily to make the zziplib be what it - was always intended for: to be a small, fast and portable library allowing - to use a zip file as a special variant of a data filesystem. The ext/io - obfuscation stuff was one of the best feature submissions so far.
