#3108 Change: Transitioning to Minizip-ng as compatible replacement for Minizip
Closed: Accepted a year ago by zbyszek. Opened a year ago by amoloney.

Transition of the minizip to minizip-ng as it brings much more optimization and also this change is strongly tied to the Zlib Transition Change as by removing zlib package it will also remove minizip-compat subpackage.

Owners, do not implement this work until the FESCo vote has explicitly ended.
The Fedora Program Manager will create a tracking bug in Bugzilla for this Change, which is your indication to proceed.
See the FESCo ticket policy and the Changes policy for more information.

REMINDER: This ticket is for FESCo members to vote on the proposal. Further discussion should happen in the devel list thread linked above.


NOTE: I've just tried to rebuilt all packages [1] with the 3rd version of minizip-ng (not rebasing to 4th as the OpenColorIO dependencies didn't port yet).

There are 4 fails:
dolphin-emu (is FTBFS not caused by new minizip)
libsbml (is FTBFS not caused by new minizip)
chromium (will use the bundled minizip)
libdigidocpp (has some issues with the bundled minizip, I'm trying to help the maintainers to find the solution, but if we don't find it in time, maybe we will have to break this package; there are only two (also transitive) dependencies: qdigidoc, open-eid)

After a week: APPROVED (+4, 0, 0)
