Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>

* Package name    : node-compressjs
  Version         : 1.0.3
  Upstream Author : C. Scott Ananian <cscott@cscott.net>
* URL             : https://github.com/cscott/compressjs
* License         : GPL
  Programming Lang: _javascript_
  Description     : fast pure-_javascript_ compression/decompression algorithms


Fast, pure-_javascript_ implementations of various compression and
decompression algorithms, including:

 * bzip2
 * LZP3
 * a modified LZJB, and
 * PPM-D

---

this is needed for recent versions of OpenPGP.js, which i'm struggling
to package.

This software is not actively maintained, and not so much used.

However, it seems there isn't any better replacement for bzip2-on-browsers.
