Jari sdesc: "Very fast Lempel-Ziv-Oberhumer packer" ldesc: "A file compressor which is very similar to gzip. lzop uses the LZO data compression library for compression services, and its main advantages over gzip are much higher compression and decompression speed (at the cost of some compression ratio). On modern systems, when making backups of terrabyte of data, lzop is usually IO-bound and not CPU-bound, which means that you can both decrease storage requirements and effectively reduce backup time by quite an amount." category: Archive requires: cygwin a) manual wget \ http://cygwin.cante.net/lzop/setup.hint \ http://cygwin.cante.net/lzop/lzop-1.02rc1-1-src.tar.bz2 \ http://cygwin.cante.net/lzop/lzop-1.02rc1-1.tar.bz2 \ b) automated gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 955A92D8 mkdir lzop ; cd lzop rm -f get.sh get.sh.sig wget http://cygwin.cante.net/lzop/get.sh \ http://cygwin.cante.net/lzop/get.sh.sig && gpg --verify get.sh.sig get.sh && sh get.sh -- Welcome to FOSS revolution: we fix and modify until it shines
