Lziprecover is a data recovery tool and decompressor for files in the lzip compressed data format (.lz). It can test the integrity of lzip files, extract data from damaged ones, and repair most files with small errors (up to one single-byte error per member) entirely.

Lziprecover is not a replacement for regular backups, but a last line of defence when even the backups are corrupt. It can recover files by merging the good parts of two or more damaged copies, such as can be easily produced by running ddrescue on a failing device.

This package also includes unzcrash, a tool to test the robustness of decompressors when faced with corrupted input.

ZPAQ is a command-line archiver for realistic situations with many duplicate and already compressed files. It backs up only those files modified since the last update. All previous versions remain untouched and can be independently recovered. Identical files are only stored once (known as de-duplication). Archives can also be encrypted.

ZPAQ is intended to back up user data, not entire operating systems. It ignores owner and group IDs, ACLs, extended attributes, or special file types like devices, sockets, or named pipes. It does not follow or restore symbolic links or junctions, and always follows hard links.

Zopfli Compression Algorithm is a compression library programmed in C to perform very good, but slow, deflate or zlib compression. ZopfliCompress supports the deflate, gzip and zlib output formats. This library can only compress, not decompress; existing zlib or deflate libraries can decompress the data.

minizip-ng is a zip manipulation library written in C, forked from the zip manipulation library found in the zlib distribution.

The main command is aunpack which extracts files from an archive. The other commands provided are apack (to create archives), als (to list files in archives), and acat (to extract files to standard out). As atool invokes external programs to handle the archives, not all commands may be supported for a certain type of archives.

Parallel Zstandard (PZstandard or pzstd) is a multi-threaded implementation of the Zstandard compression algorithm. It is fully compatible with the original Zstandard file format and command-line interface, and can be used as a drop-in replacement.

Compression is distributed over multiple processor cores to improve performance, as is the decompression of data compressed in this manner. Data compressed by other implementations will only be decompressed by two threads: one performing the actual decompression, the other input and output.

This package provides the reference implementation of Brotli, a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression.

The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in RFC 7932.

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.

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...

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

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

Conky is a lightweight system monitor for X that displays operating system statistics (CPU, disk, and memory usage, etc.) and more on the desktop.

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.

An EFL user interface for the connman connection manager.

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

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.

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

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 tool for exploring a Docker image, layer contents, and discovering ways to shrink the size of Docker/OCI image.

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

slirp4netns provides user-mode networking ("slirp") for unprivileged network namespaces.

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.

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

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.
