Match Info-ZIP's default compression levels #111

Open marklit opened 3 years ago

marklit commented 3 years ago

I compressed a 3,853,508,608-byte SQLite3 file using ouch 0.2.0 and pkzip on macOS 11.6. The resulting zip ouch produced was 611,722,010 bytes which was 1,729,697 bytes smaller than Info-ZIP's version but it took 95.43 seconds while pkzip took 75.50 seconds.

Perhaps it's worth matching the default settings so the compression time is within range of Info-ZIP. Also, exposing compression options would be great as well.

(About the compression level options, discussion is open at #52, ideas are welcome.)

marcospb19 commented 3 years ago

The documentation states that it uses this specification:

Does this explains it? Or it's just a compression level default configuration?

We use deflate, from what I have read online it seems like that is the same for infozip.

It's currently not possible to change the deflate compression level:

https://github.com/zip-rs/zip/issues/212.

Will keep this open, we may try helping the contributors of that crate making it possible for ouch to configure it.

This is now possible and no longer waiting on the ecosystem.
