Bug#503976: ITP: zfec
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Zfec is a high performance Reed-Solomon erasure coding tool. It is
sponsored by a small start-up company which releases all of their
source code under Free Software licences, with help from random
contributors around the 'Net. It is written in C and comes with C,
Python, and Haskell APIs as well as a command-line tool. The core
erasure code implementation is copied from Luigi Rizzo's long-
standing "fec" library [1] and simplified and optimized.
The project web site, trac, etc. is at http://allmydata.org/trac/
