Description
**Motivation**
The current implementation of archives relies on alpakka file that has changed license and can't be updated anymore.
So we should move to a fs2-based implementation.
Fs2 does not provide directly support to compress zip files but there are some implementations around:
https://github.com/alexandervanhecke/fs2-zip
**Acceptance criteria**
1. alpakka-files is not a dependency for the archive plugin anymore
**Not in scope**
1. The use of alpakka file in the storage app is handled in another ticket
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the archive plugin and its alpakka-files dependency, then inspect how archive compression currently uses Alpakka File. Review the referenced fs2-zip implementation as a possible replacement. Done means the archive plugin no longer depends on alpakka-files; storage app usage is out of scope.
