Some information about this package: Package: perforate Priority: optional Section: utils Installed-Size: 32 Maintainer: Heiko Schlittermann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 1.0-8 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.0.7u) Filename: dists/potato/main/binary-i386/utils/perforate_1.0-8.deb Size: 15932 MD5sum: 538a64e07295ab5845512a8f3d63b0e7 Description: Utilities to save disk space GNU cp used to detect files that contain 0-filled holes and save disk space by skipping them with lseek when writing a file and thus not allocating disk blocks. Unfortunately it does no longer. So here is program to make holes in existing files. . Also there are some scripts that help cleaning up the hard disk (finding duplicated and/or unstripped files). -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]
