Harbour API Request: Archive support libraries
asked 2014-01-19 13:17:31 +0300
Some applications (like EBook reader) need libraries for archive support like zlib, bzip2 and lzma. Also KDE Frameworks 5 contains tier1 KArchive library which depends only on QtCore and low-level archive libraries and has no other dependencies.
It would be great if either low-level libraries (which present in Emulator and Phone but are not allowed to link with) or KArchive (which is not present yet) will be allowed to link with.
at least zlib is already allowed in Harbour

BonoNL ( 2014-01-19 20:52:29 +0300 )editno qt, is so not correct, Qt is modular, but not all modules/parts are API/ABI stable, so we can't allow all of Qt in Harbour yet. Otherwise we run into the problem that with each Sailfish OS update applications installed from Store do not work any more.
Kontio ( 2014-01-20 10:25:10 +0300 )editKArchive (and all of the frameworks) have API/ABI guarantees, and plfiorini is already packaging it for mer. What is the proper way to ask to get them into sailfish?
