This is a simple command line implementation of the LZMA compression algorithm
from the LZMA SDK. It uses a raw LZMA format instead of the xz or 7z container
formats, and produces compression ratios that are usually about 25-30% better
than bzip2, and decompression speeds that are about twice as fast. The
disadvantages are higher CPU and RAM requirements for compression.
Archive::Any::Lite is a fork of Archive::Any. The main difference is this works
properly even when you fork(), and may require less memory to extract a tarball.
On the other hand, this isn't pluggable (this only supports file formats used in
the CPAN toolchains), and this doesn't check mime types (at least as of this
writing).
Plzip is a massively parallel (multi-threaded), lossless data
compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with very safe integrity
checking and a user interface similar to the one of gzip or bzip2.
Plzip uses the lzip file format; the files produced by plzip are
fully compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer.
Bz2file is a Python library for reading and writing bzip2-compressed files.
It contains a drop-in replacement for the file interface in the standard
library's bz2 module, including features from the latest development version
of CPython that are not available in older releases.
This module is a re-implementation aiming for speed instead of maximum
compression, so it can be used at runtime (rather than during a
preprocessing step). RCSSmin does syntactical compression only (removing
spaces, comments and possibly semicolons). It does not provide semantic
compression (like removing empty blocks, collapsing redundant properties
etc). It does, however, support various CSS hacks (by keeping them
working as intended).
Convert .rpm files to cpio format.
Why does the world need another rpm2cpio? because the existing one
won't build unless you have half a ton of things that aren't really
required for it, since it uses the same library used to extract RPM's.
This version is just a tiny wrapper around bsdtar.
The thunar-archive-plugin is a plugin for the Thunar File Manager, which
adds archive operations to the file context menus. Using this plugin you
will be able to extract and create archive files from within Thunar using
a single click.
XArchive is a GTK+ front end for command line archiving tools such as tar, rar,
zip, ace, 7zip, arj, and rpm.
It uses external bash shell wrappers to handle the different types of file
formats, so adding support for new archive types can be easily done by writing
a wrapper.
XMill is a new tool for compressing XML data efficiently. It is based
on a regrouping strategy that leverages the effect of highly-efficient
compression techniques in compressors such as gzip. XMill groups XML
text strings with respect to their meaning and exploits similarities
between those text strings for compression. Hence, XMill typically
achieves much better compression rates than conventional compressors
such as gzip.
GPS Manager (GPSMan) is a graphical manager of GPS data that
makes possible the preparation, inspection and edition of GPS data in
a friendly environment. GPSMan supports communication and real-time
logging with both Garmin and Lowrance receivers and accepts real-time
logging information in NMEA from any GPS receiver.
