Where did gzip go?

[heady topaz]

In this commit gzip was removed from the std with no where else to be addded as far as I can tell, what is the reason for that or am I missing something?

i guess because it's not used by the compiler or any other part of std, and it's a pretty thin wrapper over deflate so it's easy enough for stuff that needs it to reimplement it themselves

[worthy rampart]

gzip is a container format for DEFLATE, which you can choose when initializing a flate compressor/decompressor

same with zlib

oh, it moved into flate? neat

oh ofc, yeah, package manager needs it duh
