sambott / xz.net Goto Github PK

@sambott would you be up for re-licensing this code with an MIT license? I'd love to use it but GPL won't fit with the rest of the project. As a comparison point, sharpcompress, which I think you'd like to have this code integrated with, uses the MIT license.

@adamhathcock - I had a little time so I restarted looking at something I hadn't touched in a couple of years. I've created an XZ reader using your implementation of LZMA. It's still pretty basic - read only stream with crc checks missing in a couple of places, but it will improve next time I get some time.

Mainly I'm just letting you know your project was useful, but feel free to use any of this if there is any interest for XZ functionality in your library.

Using Stream.Position limits the user to Streams that are materialized, like a FileStream or a MemoryStream. It looks like XZ should be able to stream with no sense of the absolute position of the stream, and without seeks. The use of Stream.Position should be eliminated so that NetworkStreams and other just-in-time Stream implementations work.
