|
|
A shell script to handle precomp+zpaq compression workflow.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Zip archives of nearly-identical data might be almost entirely different after compression. Best compression can be had by unpacking the archives first; but naively doing so loses bit-exact archive reconstruction. By using a `precomp` pass, as well as a global deduplicating compressor, maximum storage efficiency can be achieved.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Parallel precomp scanning
|
||
|
|
- Graphical extraction interface
|
||
|
|
- Dependencies: `precomp`, `zpaq`, `dialog`, and GNU Parallel
|
||
|
|
- Assumes Cygwin, although porting would be possible
