From http://www.quicklz.com/ :

QuickLZ is the world's fastest compression library, reaching 308 Mbyte/s
per core. It can be used under a commercial license if such has been
acquired or under GPL 1, 2 or 3 where anything released into public must
be open source.
- Simple to use and easy to integrate. Get done in minutes and continue developing!
- Streaming mode for optimal compression ratio of small packets down to 200 - 300 bytes in size.
- Auto-detection and fast treatment of incompressible data.


Note: I'm working with upstream to fix a few issues with how they
distribute the quicklz source that makes it a bit hard to package.

Upstream http://www.quicklz.com/ has not had any new releases since
2011. No Linux distro ships qpress. There are many much better
compression libraries nowadays, e.g. xz, lz, zstd.. Closing this issue
as nobody should package qpress for Debian anymore.
