--- Comment #5 from Marc-Andre Lureau <marcandre.lureau@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
I would strongly recommend using gcab instead of lcab. lcab is poorly
maintained, of low code quality, doesn't provide zip compression, nor
translation.

otoh, gcab is a tool and library that provides both compression and
decompression, using GLib/GIO, providing GIR bindings, has a handful of
translations already, and hopefully of better source code quality.It is a
dependency of msitools (so it will end up in Fedora sooner or later), and I am
maintaining it, it is very much "alive".

Is there anything that lcab does that you need that gcab doesn't provide?
