Bug#782236: O: zp -- ZPAQ open standard maximum compressor (prebuilt levels)

[Jari Aalto <jari.aalto@cante.net>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Description-en: ZPAQ open standard maximum compressor
(prebuilt levels) PAQ family is a series of open source data
 compression archivers that have evolved through
 collaborative development to top rankings on several
 benchmarks measuring compression ratio although at the
 expense of speed and memory usage. . This package includes
 program zp (a ZPAQ archiver), a proposed standard format
 for highly compressed data that allows new compression
 algorithms to be developed without breaking compatibility
 with older programs. . Note: zp is the "user friendly"
 version of zpaq(1) archiver. Zp comes with 3 prebuilt and
 optimized compression levels. It does not require
 configuration file for min, med, max compression levels.

I no longer use this application. The package uses
standard 3.8.4, debhelper 8 and pre 1.0 Copyright Format.

For a prospective new maintainer:

    Start maintaining the package from Git[*]

    git clone
    $LOGIN@git.debian.org:/git/collab-maint/zp.git

    https://packages.qa.debian.org/z/zp.html
