Bug#808062: ITP: brotli -- generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm and format



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Tomasz Buchert <tomasz@debian.org>

* Package name    : brotli
  Version         : 0.2.0
  Upstream Author : Brotli Authors
* URL             : https://github.com/google/brotli
* License         : MIT
  Programming Lang: C/Python
  Description     : generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm and format

Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm
that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant
of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling,
with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available
general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with
deflate but offers more dense compression.

Cheers,
Tomasz
