Hi @dimdin,
Thank you for the response!

I’ve read up on GH PRs and if I understand correctly I’ll need to do the following.

  1. Fork main
  2. Create custom branch
  3. Apply changes
  4. Create pull request against ziglang/zig main

I can create an issue first in order to see if this is patch would be interesting.

I just want to clarify regarding the post that was split of Should the standard library be “batteries included”? that I only started integrating this feature into the std lib due to the std lib itself documenting “Tar archive format compression/decompression.”. Which I took to mean that it should (will eventually) support both reading and creating archives.

For me personally it would make sense to atleast add tar, gz and zip functionality into the std lib in order to create distributable packages that can be integrated with the build system without relying on any outstanding tools.
