* Package name : par2 Version : 0.2 Upstream Author : Peter Brian Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://parchive.sorceforge.net/ * License : (GPL) Description : Parity Archive v2 This utility applies the data-recover capability concepts of RAID-like systems to individual and multiple files. It is most commonly used in the posting and recovery of multipart archives on Usenet. . It supports the 'Reed-Soloman Code' implementation that allows for recovery of any X blocks for X parity blocks present. It is popularly used on USENET postings but is not limited to this use. . Upstream source: http://parchive.sourceforge.net/ (I have contacted Rene Weber, maintainer of parchive, to see if he(?) intends to package par2. Barring interest within the next week or so I would like maintain this package. As of this writing I have a package put together which passes lintian but does have a few problems. Namely the build-depends is not correct and it installs 4 man pages when 1 with 3 symlinks will do. I am not a current maintainer and will be looking to become a maintainer for this and other packages.) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux teleute 2.4.21 #1 SMP Sat Jul 5 17:29:22 PDT 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
