Open Source Linux Application Packaging Software

p7zip is a quick port of 7z.exe and 7za.exe (command line version of 7zip, see www.7-zip.org) for Unix. 7-Zip is a file archiver with highest compression ratio. Since 4.10, p7zip (like 7-zip) supports little-endian and big-endian machines.

KGB Archiver is the compression tool with unbelievable high compression rate. It surpasses even such efficient compression tool like 7zip and UHARC in terms of the abilities. KGB Archiver uses AES-256 encryption to encrypt archives.

Usm is a unified slackware package manager that handles automatic dependency resolution. It unifies various package repositories including slackware, slacky, ponce, salix and alien. It also supports slackbuilds.org and will build from source.

This command line interface enables you to package your Node.js project into an executable that can be run even on devices without Node.js installed. Make a commercial version of your application without sources. Make a demo/evaluation/trial version of your app without sources. Instantly make executables for other platforms (cross-compilation). Make some kind of self-extracting archive or installer. No need to install Node.js and npm to run the packaged application. No need to download hundreds of files via npm install to deploy your application. Deploy it as a single file. Put your assets inside the executable to make it even more portable. Test your app against new Node.js version without installing it. pkg was created for use within containers and is not intended for use in serverless environments. For those using ZEIT Now, this means that there is no requirement to use pkg in your projects as the benefits it provides are not applicable to the platform.

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.

ZXTapeTool is a tool to manipulate tape archives for ZX Spectrum emulators

This utility converts Motorola S-record files (namely .S19 files) to binary files and vice-versa. It has several useful features that allow full manipulation of record addressing and output file size.

Extractor for "You Don't Know Jack" (YDKJ) sound and graphicfiles

A simple tool which search, and unzips all ZIP-files, starting in a given initial directory, without changing the directory structure; which means that every ZIP-file in multiple subdirectories, will be unzipped in the overlaying directory, without creating new (sub-) directories. Simply by executing one single command. No libraries, or installation required; simply execute Xtractor, and start with mass unzipping every single ZIP-file elsewhere in your directory, without changing its structure.
