Subject: RFP: pbzip2 -- Parallel bzip2 implementation Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist
* Package name: pbzip2 Version: 0.8.3 Upstream Author: Jeff Gilchrist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL: http://compression.ca/pbzip2/ * License: "BSD-style license. For details, see the file LICENSE.txt" Description: parallel bzip2 implementation PBZIP2 is a parallel implementation of the bzip2 block-sorting file compressor that uses pthreads and achieves near-linear speedup on SMP machines. The output of this version is fully compatible with bzip2 v1.0.2 (ie: anything compressed with pbzip2 can be decompressed with bzip2). I've cc'd (via the bts) a bunch of pts lists in case any of you are interested in this. Also compression related is kalzip (an alz creator) at sourceforge.
