Description:
------------
Currently there is no  --with-libzip-dir to easily allow distributions to use independantly packaged system libraries.

Reproduce code:
---------------
./configure --help | grep zip

Expected result:
----------------
--enable-zip        Include Zip read/write support.
--with-zlib-dir=DIR   zip: Set the path to libz install prefix.
--with-libzip=DIR     zip : path to libzip sources if not using the bundled library.

Actual result:
--------------
--enable-zip        Include Zip read/write support.
--with-zlib-dir=DIR   zip: Set the path to libz install prefix.

There is no need of it. And no, you should *really* not use an external library.

The version bundled have more fixes and features than the released lib. Most of them are already in the libzip cvs, other not.

With the recent security flaws related to libzip it's desirable to enable this option. Isn't the latest http://www.nih.at/libzip/libzip-0.10.tar.bz2 going to work fine now?

It doesn't look like 0.10 will work with PHP's zip extension out of the tarball, because it is still missing some necessary features that were never upstreamed (as far as I can tell). I've worked up a patch against 0.10 that adds the necessary functionality, and sent a copy to the libzip upstream for consideration. A copy of that patch can be found here:

http://spot.fedorapeople.org/libzip-0.10-php-changes.patch

Then, I reworked ext/zip/config.m4 to enable an option to use libzip (the system copy). That patch is here:

http://spot.fedorapeople.org/php-5.3.6-libzip.patch

I couldn't figure out a good way to test for overwrite support (the bits that the first patch add), so the configure tests will pass on a system libzip without the php changes applied, but I don't think the compile will succeed (it definitely won't work properly).

tcallawa at redhat dot com : Great, patches look OK, will try them asap in openSUSE packages.

i updated the patch to really link with system libzip and not to link
with libz (as that it is libzip dependency not zip ext in case of system libzip)

http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/packages/php/system-libzip.patch?
sortby=date

i would reformat the patch indent if there's any interest it getting
applied upstream, it's currently "broken" indent just to get diffs
better to understand (and update with new upstream changes)

The current libzip HEAD revision from the mercurial repository contains AFAICT all necessary changes for PHP. Please let me know if it doesn't.
