* Package name : zst Version : not released yet Upstream Author : yours truly * URL : https://github.com/kilobyte/zst Programming Lang: C Description : CLI tool for zstd (and other) compression This is an alternate tool for zstd compression, one that takes a lot less space than the official one. It also behaves in a way consistent with other Unix compressors: the level goes only up to 9, the original copy of the file is not kept, etc. . The executable can also replace gzip xz bzip2. A bunch of features are not yet ready, but I'm filing this ITP now that the core functionality is already working but there's still time for design changes. Stuff that's aimed for important/Essential needs to be discussed well... Existing compressors: | tool | lib ------+------+----- gzip | Ess | Ess bzip2 | std | Ess (but it'd be nice to remove it) xz | std | Ess zstd | opt | Ess lz4 | opt | libsystemd0 but not libelogind0
