Hi,
I intend to package an unstable (beta) version of upx.
This version supports compresing of the Linux kernel and thus
can be used by our boot floppies team.
* Package name : upx-ucl-beta
Version : 1.91

Description : an efficient live-compressor for executables (beta version)
.
This is a beta version of UPX, the advanced executable file compressor.
.
Comparing to the stable version (available in upx-ucl and upx-nrv packages),
this version e.g.:
- has slightly better compression algorithm
- supports bootable Linux kernels
- support playstation exes
and probably has a lot of known and unknown bugs, so please use it
only for testing!
.
NOTE: This package is based on the UCL library, which is licensed under GPL.
Regards,
Robert
