Bug#176960: ITP: PPMd-- A fast compression program with good compression ratio
Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2003-01-16 Severity: wishlist * Package name: ppmd Version : i1 (translated to 9.1 for debian) Upstream Author : Dmitry Shkarin [EMAIL PROTECTED] and Dmitry Subbotin * URL : ftp://ftp.elf.stuba.sk/pub/pc/pack * License : See below Description : A fast compression program with good compression ratio License: You can not misattribute authorship on algorithm or code sources, You can not patent algorithm or its parts, all other things are allowed and welcomed. Dmitry Subbotin and me have authorship rights on code sources. Dmitry Subbotin owns authorship rights on his variation of rangecoder algorithm and I own authorship rights on my variation of PPM algorithm. This variation is named PPMII (PPM with Information Inheritance). PPMonstr program is distributed for experiments and noncommercial use only. AUTHOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF ANY USE OF THIS SOFTWARE. YOU USE THIS PROGRAM AT YOUR OWN RISK. -- Since PPMonstr is unfree I don't intend to package it. Pre packages are available[0]. 0. oxtan.campus.luth.se/debian/ppmd PPM compressors have been to slow to use until recently. PPMd is a demonstration program that fixes this problem. It's based on a compression article[1] by Dmitry. A more usable program that contains PPMd code is 7zip[2], but being written originally for windows its not possible to compile for debian. Hence PPMd is usable until 7zip ported. Current packaging efforts of 7zip seems to have stopped[3]. 1. http://DataCompression.info/Miscellaneous/PPMII_DCC02.pdf 2. http://www.7-zip.org/ 3. bugs.debian.org/160928 Here comes a compression test. Its the debian source packages that has been compressed. It confirms the calgary corpus result, I.e ppmii is a good compressor.
