### Compression
|
|
|
|
> Planned for next PKGFILE version.
|
|
|
|
Currently, compression is not supported, since PKGFILE is an all-in-one solution this is very unpleasant.
|
|
When compression will be implemented, there is a big possibility that the manifest won't be compressed.
|
|
This is done to allow servers to easily parse and inspect manifests.
|
|
The compression will likely be versatile in the way that the format will be stated in the header and the pkgr
|
|
implementation can work it out by itself.
|
|
There will be a default compression format, likely gzip.
|
|
|
|
### Compact Manifest
|
|
|
|
> Not planned yet.
|
|
|
|
Right now, the manifest is an utf-8 blob sandwiched between the header and the archive.
|
|
This also requires a fixed max size for the manifest which is unfavourable.
|
|
In the future, the manifest may turn into a versatile binary blob with no size limitations. |
