Bug#1049911: O: parchive -- Use PAR files to reconstruct missing parts of multi-part archives



Package: wnpp

parchive is obviously not maintained anymore. I am orphaning the package. Please only adopt if you can afford the time for it.

Description: PAR files reconstruct missing parts of multi-part archives
This utility applies the data-recovery capability concepts of RAID-like systems to the posting and downloading of multi-part archives on USENET by providing the ability to create and use redundant recovery records. It supports the 'Reed-Soloman Code' implementation that allows for recovery of any 'X' volumes for 'X' parity volumes present. It is popularly used on USENET postings, but is not limited to this use.
