lrzip is a compression utility that uses long-range redundancy reduction to improve the subsequent compression ratio of larger files. It can then further compress the result with the ZPAQ or LZMA algorithms for maximum compression, or LZO for maximum speed. This choice between size or speed allows for either better compression than even LZMA can provide, or a higher speed than gzip while compressing as well as bzip2.

This package provides a parallel implementation of gzip that exploits multiple processors and multiple cores when compressing data.

Libdeflate is a library for fast, whole-buffer DEFLATE-based compression and decompression. The supported formats are:

1. DEFLATE (raw)

2. zlib (a.k.a. DEFLATE with a zlib wrapper)

3. gzip (a.k.a. DEFLATE with a gzip wrapper)

LZFSE is a Lempel-Ziv style data compression algorithm using Finite State Entropy coding. It targets similar compression rates at higher compression and decompression speed compared to Deflate using Zlib.

Pbzip2 is a parallel implementation of the bzip2 block-sorting file compressor that uses pthreads and achieves near-linear speedup on SMP machines. The output of this version is fully compatible with bzip2 v1.0.2 (i.e. anything compressed with pbzip2 can be decompressed with bzip2).

Draco is a library for compressing and decompressing 3D geometric meshes and point clouds. It is intended to improve the storage and transmission of 3D graphics.

unshield is a tool and library for extracting .cab archives from InstallShield installers.

Compton is a compositor for the Xorg display server and a for of xcompmgr-dana, which implements some changes like:

• OpenGL backend (--backend glx), in addition to the old X Render backend.

• Inactive window transparency (-i) and dimming (--inactive-dim).

• Menu transparency (-m, thanks to Dana).

• Shadows are now enabled for argb windows, e.g terminals with transparency

• Removed serverside shadows (and simple compositing) to clean the code, the only option that remains is clientside shadows.

• Configuration files (see the man page for more details).

• Colored shadows (--shadow-[red/green/blue]).

• A new fade system.

• VSync support (not always working).

• Blur of background of transparent windows, window color inversion (bad in performance).

• Some more options...

Picom is a standalone compositor for Xorg, suitable for use with window managers that do not provide compositing.

Picom is a fork of compton, which is a fork of xcompmgr-dana, which in turn is a fork of xcompmgr.

This package helps to manage personal configuration files across multiple machines.

Konsave is CLI that lets you backup your dotfiles and switch to other ones. Features:

• storing configurations in profiles

• exporting profiles to '.knsv' files

• import profiles from '.knsv' files

• official support for KDE Plasma

Connman provides a daemon for managing Internet connections. The Connection Manager is designed to be slim and to use as few resources as possible. It is fully modular system that can be extended through plug-ins. The plug-in approach allows for easy adaption and modification for various use cases. Connman implements DNS resolving and caching, DHCP clients for both IPv4 and IPv6, link-local IPv4 address handling and tethering (IP connection sharing) to clients via USB, ethernet, WiFi, cellular and Bluetooth.

Cmst is a Qt based frontend for the connman connection manager. This package also provides a systemtray icon.

An EFL user interface for the connman connection manager.

Buildah is a command-line tool to build OCI container images. More generally, it can be used to:

• create a working container, either from scratch or using an image as a starting point;

• create an image, either from a working container or via the instructions in a Dockerfile;

• mount a working container's root filesystem for manipulation;

• use the updated contents of a container's root filesystem as a filesystem layer to create a new image.

Conmon is a monitoring program and communication tool between a container manager (like Podman or CRI-O) and an Open Container Initiative (OCI) runtime (like runc or crun) for a single container.

crun is a fast and low-memory footprint Open Container Initiative (OCI) Container Runtime fully written in C.

passt implements a thin layer between guest and host, that only implements what's strictly needed to pretend processes are running locally. The TCP adaptation doesn't keep per-connection packet buffers, and reflects observed sending windows and acknowledgements between the two sides. This TCP adaptation is needed as passt runs without the CAP_NET_RAW capability: it can't create raw IP sockets on the pod, and therefore needs to map packets at Layer-2 to Layer-4 sockets offered by the host kernel.

Also provides pasta, which similarly to slirp4netns, provides networking to containers by creating a tap interface available to processes in the namespace, and mapping network traffic outside the namespace using native Layer-4 sockets.

This package provides a replacement for libslirp and VPNKit, written in pure Go. It is based on the network stack of gVisor and brings a configurable DNS server and dynamic port forwarding.

It can be used with QEMU, Hyperkit, Hyper-V and User-Mode Linux.

The binary is called gvproxy.

libslirp is a user-mode networking library used by virtual machines, containers or various tools.

This package provides an implementation of Compose Spec for podman focused on being rootless and not requiring any daemon to be running.

Podman (the POD MANager) is a tool for managing containers and images, volumes mounted into those containers, and pods made from groups of containers.

Not all commands are working out of the box due to requiring additional binaries to be present in the $PATH.

To get podman compose working, install either podman-compose or docker-compose packages.

To get podman machine working, install qemu-minimal, and openssh packages.

Catatonit is a simple container init tool developed as a rewrite of initrs in C due to the need for static compilation of Rust binaries with musl. Inspired by other container inits like tini and dumb-init, catatonit focuses on correct signal handling, utilizing signalfd(2) for improved stability. Its main purpose is to support the key usage by docker-init: /dev/init – <your program>, with minimal additional features planned.

Distrobox is a fancy wrapper around Podman or Docker to create and start containers highly integrated with the hosts.
