IMPORTANT NEWS: UPX has moved to GitHub https://upx.github.io ========================

Nixstaller is an Open Source project with the goal to create user friendly and flexible installers that work on various UNIX like systems. Some of its features are: small size overhead, large compatibility, Lua scripting and few dependencies.

This project has a lively SVN repository for build recipes, over 1000 F/OSS softwares are available. The tool "pkgbuild" is for building packages on Solaris 11/OpenIndiana from RPM-like spec files. The tool also runs on OmniOS. If you want, you can create new style IPS packages and old style SVR4 packages for Solaris 10. The tool is not updated frequently, but the following "build recipes" for pkgbuild is updated every day. For a few hundred build-recipes see the sub-project "spec-files-extra" or "SFE". We already have stacks of e.g. multimedia players mplyer/vlc or postfix/dovecot/cyrus-sasl/spamfiltering. But there is so much more to be added! Volunteers to the build-recipes are always welcome. Please ask on the mailing list or irc://irc.freenode.org/#pkgbuild Please proceed now with the link below and remember to visit "SFE" on the left and browse through the available packages list in SVN. Or go for one of the binary repositories with ready-to-use IPS packages.

Fiark is a File Transfer Tool (FTT.) Unlike a backup, an FTT is designed to QUICKLY copy ("float") files between a DIVERSE set of computing environments.

At this point this project is mainly wpkg which is a replica of dpkg and apt-get that works under Microsoft Windows and Unices. Since version 0.7.0 it works very nicely as it includes most of the important functionality of dpkg (i.e. most everything except dselect functions.) Otherwise, the Unix GNU Windows is expected to be a large set of packages that wpkg can handle. Packages of all the software available under MinGW and GnuWin32 so you can painlessly build a complete Unix like environment under Microsoft Windows.

DOSConf is an installer to install, update, repair, remove and create installation and patch package. It will be developed for DOS / Win32 platforms and in the future for another operating systems, like Linux.

FDNPKG is an online update tool for the FreeDOS operating system. It allows to install, remove and update software on a FreeDOS installation using online (http) or local (on disk/cdrom) repositories. It is written by Mateusz Viste for the FreeDOS™ project, but can be used on other DOS systems as well. FDNPKG means "FreeDOS Network Package manager".

FDPM is a package manager for FreeDOS. It should replace the ZIP file format, in which FreeDOS is distributed now, in the future.

Jar Ajar is a JAR-based self-extractor for zip files. Zip up files and package them with descriptive images and text using Jar Ajar's graphical interface. When recipients launch the resulting JAR, Jar Ajar guides users through the unzip process.

PackRat is Backup and Recovery for Perl empowered systems. It is intended to provide a light-weight disaster-recovery capability to any system running the aproporiate perl, but is developed and tested only under linux at this point. Future releases will i

Payload Delivery Vehicle (PDV) is a program that builds an executable that contains a complete package (e.g. and RPM, System V package or tar file) and the commands required to install it. When the executable is run it will extract and execute the payloa

Our goal is to create an actively supported and maintained set of tools and mirrors for Solaris, allowing automated \"get & install\" of up-to-date free software.

Split Files

This software is intended to encode your text files efficiently. You can decode them later using the same algorithm you used to encode it. Encode is professionalism packed simply and freely. You can use Encode for any non-illegal purposes. You can make any number of copies and redistribute Encode as it is.

Sign APK (or JAR) archives by OpenSSL, using standard private keys and certificates instead of keytool-managed keystores.

Pack files into C source code similar to sharutils. To extract files, compile and run the C source.

The utility sfxcompress is a bash script used to pack and encrypt the current directory on a self-extracting file. It also includes the calculation of the MD5 function to check if the compressed file is correct.
