Con Kolivas' repository was created on GitHub in March 2010. The README authorship notes also record earlier documentation by Peter Hyman in January 2009, a GitHub Markdown rewrite by Haneef Mubarak in September 2013, and a README update by Con Kolivas in February 2021. The project is a continuation of the rzip idea for systems with more memory and larger files. Its README emphasizes that lrzip tries to use available RAM aggressively to gain compression benefit, which is both its distinctive feature and the reason it is most useful on large modern machines. ### Adoptionsgeschichte The supplied package-manager facts show wide packaging across Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, MacPorts, Nix, Arch, Alpine, and openSUSE. That breadth reflects its role as a specialist compressor: not the default archive format for every user, but common enough to be kept available in Unix package collections. GitHub metadata reports hundreds of stars and dozens of forks, and the README points users to official GitHub releases for stable packaged tarballs. ### Wie es verwendet wird lrzip compresses a single file to `.lrz`; directory workflows typically go through `tar` or the included `lrztar` and `lrzuntar` wrappers. The README documents modes for LZMA, ZPAQ, LZO, and gzip-like semantics via the `lrz` wrapper. The tool has no documented persistent config or credentials. Tuning is by CLI options such as compression backend, level, thread count, and memory/window behavior. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren lrzip is a package-manager favorite for compression enthusiasts because it exposes a very different tradeoff curve from gzip, xz, or zstd: it spends memory and CPU to find long-range redundancy in large inputs. That makes it useful in archival experiments, benchmark discussions, and old-school Unix compression collections. ### Zeitleiste - 2009: Official README notes documentation by Peter Hyman. - 2010: GitHub repository created for ckolivas/lrzip. - 2013: README mostly rewritten and converted to GitHub Markdown. - 2021: README updated by Con Kolivas. - 2022: GitHub releases list version 0.651. - 2026: Supplied package-manager facts list packaging across major Unix-like distributions. ### Related projects - lrzip is directly related to rzip, and its README names LZO, LZMA, gzip, bzip2, LZ4, ZPAQ, and tar-wrapper workflows as part of its compression ecosystem. ### Quellen - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Sicherheitshinweise broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. -
