          Issue ID: 14518
           Summary: Review wiki wish-list proposal for a renewed API
                    file-based archives
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: Phobos
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: mcsherry.liam gmail.com

On the wiki, there is (and has been for a couple of years) a wish-list[1] with
a suggestion that there should be an common API for file-based archives (such
as zip and tar). The downside of specifying an API is deprecation of std.zip's
current API.

I would like to contribute tar code to Phobos, so knowing whether or not there
is (or will be) a common API for file-based archives would help me.
