Where's QtIOCompressor?

[alex_sh]

Hello,

Does anyone know why the QtIOCompressor solution seems to have disappeared?

While the documentation is still there ( http://doc.trolltech.com/solutions/4/qtiocompressor/qtiocompressor.html ), there's no mention of QtIOCompressor at http://qt.nokia.com/products/qt-addons/solutions-archive/index and it hasn't been imported to git at http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-solutions/qt-solutions/trees/master .

I'd like to use it in my program, but this disappearance makes me think that something was wrong with it.

Thanks

many former solutions has been "deleted"
as qttelnet...

qCompress and qUncompress may be useful.

[alex_sh]

Thank you both.
Unfortunately, qCompress/qUncompress are too memory-intensive for my needs, I wanted to compress on the fly while writing to a file.

I should have all (or at least most of) the solutions on my disk but I have to check the licences. If they are LGPL (which is unlikely), we can republish them on QtCentre.

[alex_sh]

wysota, thanks, I think that would be great.

I did find qtiocompressor's sources (as a src.rpm) and it's LGPL.
http://hany.sk/mirror/fedora/releases/14/Everything/source/SRPMS/qtiocompressor-2.3.1-1.fc14.src.rpm

However, I think that a centralized place for all the vanished solutions would be great, so I welcome your suggestion.

Thanks

What you found might be LGPL, what I have might be under commercial licence.

In case anyone is interested, I found the tarballs for all of them at:
ftp://ftp.qt.nokia.com/qt/solutions/lgpl/

Another solution, in order to use Qt5-based and maintained code, is to port to KCompressionDevice from the KArchive framework http://inqlude.org/libraries/karchive.html
This is LGPL too.
