I need to archive multiple files using ruby, but I need to archive them in such way that they could be extracted without using my script (so I need popular format).
Problems with tar are max file length and problems with random file access while writing tar.
Good pure ruby library or ruby binding is highly desirable.
Built-in compression would be a good addition (so i don’t need to use zlib ruby binding around archiving).
Ruby Zip is very stable, we use it to allow users to download bundles of images.
