Package: wnpp Severity: normal I'm offering some packages up for adoption so I have more time for the others. xar is quite new, but hasn't seen much upstream activity lately (afaict, I haven't contacted them personally yet). The packaging is fairly trivial (except it builds a library...). There's python bindings floating around somewhere that could be packaged. If you want to be the new maintainer, please see http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Important design decisions include an easily extensible XML table of contents for random access to archived files, storing the toc at the beginning of the archive to allow for efficient handling of streamed archives, the ability to handle files of arbitrarily large sizes, the ability to choose independent encodings for individual files in the archive, the ability to store checksums for individual files in both compressed and uncompressed form, and the ability to query the table of content's rich meta-data. . This package contains the xar binary.
