About "e2fsprogs"
This package, the EXT2 filesystem utilities, are made available un-
der the GNU Public License version 2, with the exception of the lib/
ext2fs and lib/e2p libraries, which are made available under the
GNU Library General Public License Version 2, the lib/uuid library
which is made available under a BSD-style license and the lib/et
and lib/ss libraries which are made available under an MIT-style
license. Please see lib/uuid/COPYING for more details for the li-
cense for the files comprising the libuuid library, and the source file
headers of the libet and libss libraries for more information.
The most recent officially distributed version can be found at http://
e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net. If you need to make a distribution,
that's the one you should use. If there is some reason why you'd
like a more recent version that is still in ALPHA testing (i.e., either
using the "WIP" test distributions or one from the hg or git reposi-
tory from the development branch, please contact me (tytso@mit.
edu) before you ship. The release schedules for this package are
flexible, if you give me enough lead time.

About "zlib"
ZLIB DATA COMPRESSION LIBRARY
zlib 1.2.7 is a general purpose data compression library. All the
code is thread safe. The data format used by the zlib library is de-
scribed by RFCs (Request for Comments) 1950 to 1952 in the files
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1950 (zlib format), rfc1951 (deflate for-
mat) and rfc1952 (gzip format).
All functions of the compression library are documented in the
file zlib.h (volunteer to write man pages welcome, contact zlib@
gzip.org). A usage example of the library is given in the file test/
example.c which also tests that the library is working correctly. An-
other example is given in the file test/minigzip.c. The compression
library itself is composed of all source files in the root directory.
To compile all files and run the test program, follow the instructions
given at the top of Makefile.in. In short "./configure; make test", and
if that goes well, "make install" should work for most flavors of Unix.
For Windows, use one of the special makefiles in win32/ or contrib/
vstudio/. For VMS, use make_vms.com.
Questions about zlib should be sent to <[email protected]>, or to
Gilles Vollant <[email protected]> for the Windows DLL ver-
sion. The zlib home page is http://zlib.net/. Before reporting a
problem, please check this site to verify that you have the latest
version of zlib; otherwise get the latest version and check whether
the problem still exists or not.
PLEASE read the zlib FAQ http://zlib.net/zlib_faq.html before ask-
ing for help.
Mark Nelson <[email protected]> wrote an article about zlib for the
Jan. 1997 issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal; a copy of the article is avail-
able at http://marknelson.us/1997/01/01/zlib-engine/.
The changes made in version 1.2.7 are documented in the file
ChangeLog.
Unsupported third party contributions are provided in directory
contrib/.
zlib is available in Java using the java.util.zip package, document-
ed at http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Program-
ming/compression/.
A Perl interface to zlib written by Paul Marquess <pmqs@cpan.
org> is available at CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network)
sites, including http://search.cpan.org/~pmqs/IO-Compress-
Zlib/.
A Python interface to zlib written by A.M. Kuchling <amk@amk.
ca> is available in Python 1.5 and later versions, see http://docs.
python.org/library/zlib.html.
zlib is built into tcl: http://wiki.tcl.tk/4610.
An experimental package to read and write files in .zip format, writ-
ten on top of zlib by Gilles Vollant <[email protected]>, is avail-
able in the contrib/minizip directory of zlib.
Notes for some targets:
- For Windows DLL versions, please see win32/DLL_FAQ.txt
- For 64-bit Irix, deflate.c must be compiled without any optimiza-
tion. With -O, one libpng test fails. The test works in 32 bit mode
(with the -n32 compiler flag). The compiler bug has been reported
to SGI.
- zlib doesn't work with gcc 2.6.3 on a DEC 3000/300LX under
OSF/1 2.1 it works when compiled with cc.
- On Digital Unix 4.0D (formely OSF/1) on AlphaServer, the cc op-
tion -std1 is necessary to get gzprintf working correctly. This is
done by configure.
- zlib doesn't work on HP-UX 9.05 with some versions of /bin/cc. It
works with other compilers. Use "make test" to check your com-
piler.
- gzdopen is not supported on RISCOS or BEOS.
- For PalmOs, see http://palmzlib.sourceforge.net/
Acknowledgments:
The deflate format used by zlib was defined by Phil Katz. The deflate
and zlib specifications were written by L. Peter Deutsch. Thanks to
all the people who reported problems and suggested various im-
provements in zlib; they are too numerous to cite here.
