[Jazzlib-developers] Patched latest version to fix various bugs

[Christian S. <chr...@sc...>]

Hi everyone,

 

I've downloaded the latest version of jazzlib in order to use it with my
file synchronization software TrueMirror, which shall be released soon.

 

After zipping and unzipping some Gigabytes of data with 15.000 files, I have
modified the sources to support/fix the following:

 

+ Added new constructors to support arbitrary character sets for entry names
and comments for international ZIP files. As an example, CP437 may be used
which seems to be most widely used.

+ Fixed bug in date/time conversion.

+ Enabled support for ZIP files up to 4 GB. The current version only
supports 2GB due to erratic signed int usage.

 

If this sounds interesting, then I would be more than happy to provide my
modified sources for inclusion in the standard distribution.

 

Now the bad news: I never worked with CVS! So how could I contribute? I am
working with Netbeans 4.0 and noticed that it has some support for CVS, but
I am not sure if I need additional software and where to start. If someone
could prod me into a short tutorial I'ld be more than delighted. :-)

 

With best regards,

Christian Schlichtherle
