Package: par2 Version: 0.4-6 Severity: wishlist
I keep finding myself wanting to create a fixed amount of recovery data, regardless of the size of the input files. Unless I'm mistaken, the only way to do that right now is to calculate the total size of the input files and then pick an appropriate block-size (-s) that results in less than 32k blocks total, and then specify some multiple of block-size (-c) to get close to the amount of data I want. It would be much simplier if I could do something like -M200 to generate 200 MB of recovery data, and par2 would figure out the appropriate block size and recovery block count. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (1000, 'unstable'), (750, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages par2 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-2 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.0.2-2 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 par2 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
