PAQ4 Archiver
PAQ4 mixes models using adaptive rather than fixed weights, and also
includes an improved model for data with fixed length records. This is all
explained in the source code.
paq4.cpp Source code (Oct. 16, 2003)
The reason I bring this attention to the ppmd package maintainer is that
it seems that for at least some files, the PAQ line gives better results
than ppmd, ppmonster... In fact it seems that PAQ4 may have done better on
compression the Calgary Corpus than any other open source compressor.
I haven't looked into the algorithms and some testing may be needed anyway
to see whether this could be a valuable (more than ppmd) contribution to
Debian.

Hello,
This is an automatic mail sent to close the RFP you have reported or
are involved with.
Your RFP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 600 days.
- It haven't had any activity recently.
- The amount of ITPs on the Debian BTS is huge and we need to
clean up a bit the place.
As this an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the RFP is still of your interest, or there has been
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).
To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:
reopen 123456
thanks bts
Replacing '123456' for the number of your RFP bug. The subject of the
mail is ignored. Or if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.
This is the first mass wnpp closing that will be done. The next close
will be done on inactive RFPs older than 450 days and finally, the
ones older than 365 days (an automatic script will close *inactive*
RFPs when they reach one year old).
A similar process is being applied to the ITP wnpp bugs in these
days.
Thanks for your cooperation,
-- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org> Wed, 14 Sep 2005 21:54:42 -0500
