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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Reads and writes archives used in many popular games. Great for mod development and game translations. Supports over 5700 games, with more games added through small plugins. Also shows file previews and converts them to different formats.

Zip-Ada is a library for .zip archives. Full sources are in Ada and are unconditionally portable. Input and output can be any stream (file, buffer,...) for archive creation as well as data extraction. Task safe and endian-neutral. More information on: http://unzip-ada.sf.net Alire crate: https://alire.ada.dev/crates/zipada Mirror: https://github.com/zertovitch/zip-ada/

Moved to GitHub.com/gdraheim/zziplib/ The ZZIPlib provides read access on ZIP-archives. The library uses only the patent-free compression-algorithms supported by Zlib. It provides functions that transparently access files being either real files or zipped files, both with the same filepath

Jar Installer is a java based program for creating self-extracting installation packages through a GUI. Just select your files, logo and create a jar file which can be double clicked for installation.

A wrapper for dozens of archiving, compression and image-tools like tar, gzip, zip, arj, rar, ace, arc, zoo, lha, lzx, dms, adf, d64 and more.

ReHash is an easy-to-use console-based hash calculation tool written in C++. It supports many algorithms and output formats and it can be fully configured using some of the many command-line arguments which can be passed to the tool.

`archivemail' is a tool written in python for archiving and compressing old email in mailboxes. It can move messages that are older that the specified number of days to a mbox-format mailbox compressed with gzip, or optionally just delete old email.

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.

AZip is a free Zip Archive Manager with unique features such as: built-in content Search, smart archive Update, archive Recompression. The goal is to keep the user interface as simple as possible and bother the user the least possible with options or useless gadgets.

BiGZiP is a graphically rich, Java based compression tool. It is developed around a user interface that is easy and intuitive to navigate. It fully supports zip compression and allows for the development of new compression schemes via it’s APIs

Nhopkg is a lightweight and powerfull package manager system for unix like operating systems. Nhopkg can install, remove, update, search and manage software packages (.nho).

The GK3 Tools project is a collection of tools and utilities useful for viewing and modifying the Gabriel Knight 3 data files.

A collection of utilities for working with SourceForge programmatically. The initial release is spearheaded by a programmatic interface to the File Release System.

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.

Lift Off Java Installer is an installer for Java applications.

CoolPackager is a program which will take a .tar.gz file and a installation script file and create a self-extracting executable scipt. Install it on your system by typing this command as root: lynx -source cpkg.sourceforge.net/cpkg | sh

A free file splitting tool that cuts large files into smaller parts and a merge-script which you can copy to otherwise-too-small memory sticks etc and then put them together on the target computer.

An automated packaging tool for Slackware Linux with automatic downloading of packages

JSPackaging is a JavaScript framework that provides simple directives for defining, loading & importing uniquely named packages of JavaScript modules. UPDATE: This project now exists as Ajile at http://sf.net/projects/ajile & http://ajile.iskitz.com.
