[ Using ZIP for the pkg tools ] > Hmmmm. OK, how's the quality of the code?

Do you want a library instead of just calling the zip/unzip utils and parsing the output? Although I think the latter would be much slower, it would avoid you having to GPL your package tools, and avoid 'Yet-Another' GPL utility in the tree. Also, what kind of API would you like to see? You are the most familiar with the package tools, so if you write up a quick 'this is what I'd like to see API' then it would be easier for someone to know what is expected. Natehome | help
