File::S...rs::zip(3)

✨ DEPRECATION PLANS ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the File::S...rs::zip(3) page — and ngl, this one is short but it’s giving “big-picture problem” energy. 💅

So here’s the tea: so many libraries and utilities are out here generating ZIP archives themselves (rather than delegating to one or two central libraries), and the way that makes getting this upstreamed everywhere literally infeasible. 😭 Like, fr fr, it’s just not a one-spot fix vibe.

There are also countless formats that generate ZIP files under different names — notably Jar archives and its many variants. 🫶 So yeah, that’s the whole deprecation-plans situation, no cap. 🌈
