Add support for multi-volume ZIP archives

Open eosfor opened this issue 8 years ago • 11 comments

Hello Team, sorry to bother you with this question. Can you kindly point me to an example how to create multi-volume archive, please?

Hi eosfor, Do you want a multi-volume gzip archive, or a zip split into multiple files? We definitely have ability to read multiple file GZip archives. I think we can create as well, but would need to check. If it is a .zip archive that you need to create, split into multiple files when reaching a certain size, then we don't have that yet. Regards David

Any following up on this topic, splitting/spanned zip files? I am using SharpZipLib generally except chunk files (currently using 7z), but would very much like to switch to SharpZipLib once this function is introduced. Is this still missing or am I missing something from the library/documentation? Thank you very much, Zhu

I think 2020 is a good time to implement multi volume support :)

Who knows? I don't think anyone is working on it at the moment though.

Is there no way at all to split tar.gz-files with SharpZipLib?

I didn't think there was, but the 2nd post suggests there might be (though the discussion seems to be a combination of .zip and .gz which might confuse things).

I'm not sure what the intention is with 'split' .gz files - would it be to simply split a large file/stream into smaller ones, or to create multiple pieces which are each a valid gzip stream (with headers and footers and such) ?

I guess the last one is right. I create large tar.gz files on a FAT32 system, so it would be handy to somehow notice when the filesize reaches the 4GB-limit and then be able to put the rest of the archive into another tar.gz

Any news on the multiple split zip archive file? It would be best if it was supported. I am currently manually making each archive by limiting size when adding files.

And Happy New Year.

Don't think anyone is working on implementing it currently. If you are up to it, a PR would be welcomed!
