Bug#653497: O: afio -- archive file manipulation program
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
I intend to orphan the afio package. I still believe afio is Free
Software, and I tried to keep it in main, but failed.
I'm not able to move it to non-free nor maintain it there, this should
be done by others, sorry.
The package description is:
Afio manipulates groups of files, copying them within or between
filesystems and an afio archive.
.
Afio archives are portable as they contain only ASCII-formatted header
information. Afio makes cpio-format archives. Afio deals somewhat
gracefully with input data corruption. Afio supports multi-volume
archives during interactive operation. Afio can make compressed
archives that are much safer than compressed tar or cpio archives.
.
Afio is best used as an `archive engine' in a backup script.
