Re: zipint.h missing in debian package

This implies that I wont be able to extract a file contained within another zip?

If the above would be possible I could just add my buffer (which is a zip) to the newly created struct zip and then rextract it and so on.

 You do realise that zip_source_buffer is for *adding* a file to a zip archive?  It cannot be used to open a zip archive from a memory buffer, nor can it be used to extract files from a zip archive.

 Reading zip archives from memory instead of the file system is indeed a missing feature, and one we will add, probably when we add the I/O abstraction layer.
