Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-06-20
Severity: wishlist


Hi,

I intend to package an unstable (beta) version of upx.
This version supports compresing of the Linux kernel and thus 
can be used by our boot floppies team.


* Package name    : upx-ucl-beta
  Version         : 1.91

  Description     : an efficient live-compressor for executables (beta version)
  .
  This is a beta version of UPX, the advanced executable file compressor.
  .
  Comparing to the stable version (available in upx-ucl and upx-nrv packages),
  this version e.g.:
   - has slightly better compression algorithm
   - supports bootable Linux kernels
   - support playstation exes
  and probably has a lot of known and unknown bugs, so please use it
  only for testing!
  .
  NOTE: This package is based on the UCL library, which is licensed under GPL.


Regards,

Robert
