Description Tim Niemueller 2011-03-25 14:45:32 UTC

Description of problem:
Currently, minizip is not available on RHEL 5.5. It is included in the zlib package's contrib directory and build by default on Fedora and RHEL 6. I'd like to request to also build it on RHEL 5.

Minizip is required for several packages I would like to build for EPEL, therefore it would be nice if minizip could be included in a future update.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
zlib 1.2.3
