   @joshbressers Except the actual true upstream of minizip is zlib.
   
   Source? Minizip's homepage. https://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/minizip.html

     @erincandescent @joshbressers Meaning it's also in zlib tarballs and virtually all zlib distro packages (due to software depending on minizip), but it's just not in libz.so.

     @joshbressers @erincandescent I have 0 interests in things like policies, only horses I care about in the race are distros, which are just going to patch a finite amount of packages and be done with it.
     
     As for distros I know have zlib package with minizip included: Gentoo (with USE=minizip), Alpine (one recipe/tarball + split minizip-* binary packages).
     (It's likely all distros)
     
     btw if you're wondering about software depending on zlib's minizip, see the "Required by" panel at https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/community/x86/minizip

     @joshbressers @lanodan @erincandescent We package it in Debian and hence derivatives - it’s not in the zlib binary package but it is shipped as separate binary packages that do have a userbase.
