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.

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.

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.

Reads and writes archives used in many popular games. Great for mod development and game translations. Supports over 4700 games, with more games added through small plugins. Also shows file previews and converts them to different formats.

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

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.

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.

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

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. More details and screenshots on the AZip Web site: http://azip.sf.net Alire crate: https://alire.ada.dev/crates/azip Mirror: https://github.com/zertovitch/azip

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.

a Java utility for comparing the contents of any two zip files. It can also be used to compare EAR files, WAR files, or JAR files.

GNUpdate is a set of libraries and tools that provide universal package management on Linux systems, allowing any distribution to install packages from other distributions, as well as updating the system with the latest versions of installed packages.

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.

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

`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.

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

The TclVfs project aims to provide an extension to the Tcl language which allows Virtual Filesystems to be built using Tcl scripts only. It is also a repository of such Tcl-implemented filesystems (metakit, zip, ftp, tar, http, webdav, namespace, url)

Powerful encoder/decoder for the newly popular Usenet yEnc file format. Features include easy configuration, internationalization, memory efficiency, and an intelligent decoder capable of finding and decoding input files, including out-of-order files.

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

The purpose of this site is to provide many commonly used (and many not-so-commonly used) binary RPM packages for the Linux community. These RPMs are all designed to be LSB-compliant, and thus, designed to work on all LSB-compliant distributions.

A shell script and database containing text files allowing a user to determine which Red Hat distribution CD contains a specific package. Limited support has been added for Mandrake and Aurora Linux. Avoid searching CD's for every rpm package!
