-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2012-6351 2012-07-11 00:46:49 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : lrzip Product : Fedora EPEL 6 Version : 0.614 Release : 1.el6 URL : http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/lrzip/ Summary : Compression program optimized for large files Description : Long Range ZIP or Lzma RZIP
This is a compression program optimized for large files. The larger the file and the more memory you have, the better the compression advantage this will provide, especially once the files are larger than 100 MB. The advantage can be chosen to be either size (much smaller than bzip2) or speed (much faster than bzip2). Decompression is always much faster than bzip2.
