Alert for Social Engineering Takeovers of Open Source Projects
I recently had an xz moment with an unmaintained zip rust crate. I'm still not sure if it was legit or not: https://github.com/zip-rs/zip-old/issues/446
- Crate Is Unmaintained

Rust failed to unzip a zip file created on Windows 11.
Looks like the same (or similar) issue has been reported to the Zip GitHub page a while ago. Might not get resolved anytime soon

A Rust library for archives?
I would recommend tar or zip.

Is it possible to work on the contents of an enormous zip file without decompressing it?
Looks like you can https://github.com/zip-rs/zip/blob/bb230ef56adc13436d1fcdfaa489249d119c498f/examples/stdin_info.rs

High-Level Zip Library and Rust Libraries in General
Hey y'all. I wanted to create a rust program to zip / unzip a file. And found zip-rs which I was able to implement the zip function for.

Hey Rustaceans! Got an easy question? Ask here (36/2021)!
Thank you for answering. I did think it was strange that reading a file from the archive requires a mutable borrow, I did some digging on the crate's GitHub and it appears like the author has plans to fix this eventually. (https://github.com/zip-rs/zip/issues/147)

Announcing diff.rs!
It works by fetching a crate's metadata from crates.io, downloading the sources using reqwest, uncompressing them using flate2, extracting them (using tar), and finally rendering a diff (using similar). In the UI you can switch between different versions of the crate to diff against and it also has a search bar to enter the crate name.

Git Internals part 1: The git object model
Let's add a library to read these compressed files. We'll use the Rust library flate2, which includes the functionality we need plus much more.
