历史

项目历史与用法

gcab is a GNOME-hosted command-line tool and GObject library for creating Microsoft Cabinet files. In package-manager culture it is usually encountered near msitools, libgsf, Wine-derived Windows Installer tooling, and cross-platform packaging workflows.

项目历史

The gcab repository describes GCab as a GObject library to create cabinet files. The broader GNOME msitools project describes its tool family as programs for inspecting and building Windows Installer files, based on libmsi, which in turn is a portable subset of Wine's Windows Installer implementation.

采用历史

Official GitLab tags show gcab releases from early 2013 through the 1.x series, with v1.0 tagged in January 2018 and v1.6 tagged in July 2023. That release pattern places gcab among the small infrastructure packages that desktop distributions carry because higher-level Windows packaging tools depend on them.

使用方式

The package provides the gcab command for cabinet archive work and the libgcab library interface. It is most relevant where Unix-like build systems need to assemble or inspect Windows installer-related artifacts without using native Windows tooling.

为什么软件包爱好者会关心

gcab matters to package maintainers because Cabinet files are a Windows packaging primitive, while GNOME's msitools stack makes those formats scriptable from Unix packaging pipelines. It is a small package, but it sits at the awkward boundary between Linux build systems and Windows installer formats.

时间线
