Feedback
Benefit to Fedora
Major version 2.2.x provides new optimizations, rewrites deflate memory allocation and improves the buildsystem and tests.
More details are available in the following pages:
- https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng/releases/tag/2.2.0
- https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng/releases/tag/2.2.1
- https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng/releases/tag/2.2.2
Discussion about changes is in:
Scope
- Proposal owners: New zlib-ng packages will be built. The SONAME version was not bumped (no side-tag rebase needed).
- Other developers: Check if their packages continue to work as expected and report issues using Bugzilla.
- Release engineering: #Releng issue number
- Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
- Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
- Alignment with the Fedora Strategy:
Upgrade/compatibility impact
Considering that API and ABI are expected to be kept the same, no impacts are expected.
Early Testing (Optional)
Do you require 'QA Blueprint' support? N
An initial test has already been executed on CentOS Stream 10 Copr.
Further testing for Fedora in Fedora Copr

Dependencies
There are 1300 packages that depends on zlib-ng library, thus listing them here would spam the whole page.
The list was gathered using command (on the Fedora Rawhide machine): repoquery --whatdepends zlib-* --source | pkgname
All of these dependencies are being rebuilt against the new zlib-ng version in Fedora Copr project
Contingency Plan
If we find zlib-ng 2.2.x is not suitable for Fedora 42, we will revert back to version 2.1.x.
- Contingency mechanism: Revert back to version 2.1.x and increment to epoch
- Contingency deadline: Fedora 42 branching from Rawhide.
- Blocks release? No
