Project Description

Currently, Golang's archive/zip standard library does not support appending new files to the existing zip archive.

Therefore, creating a simple zip archive library based on the Go zip standard library to add some Updater related method to allow appending new files to the existing zip archive without rewriting the whole file.

(Only for hacking and learning, and the final result of this project may not be stable to use in production.)

This modified zip library is used in my other HackWeek project Hangar. I will continue maintaining the Hangar and zip projects after HackWeek.
