Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : mount-zip Version : 1.0.12 Upstream Contact: François Degros * URL : https://github.com/google/mount-zip * License : GPL3 Programming Lang: C++ Description : FUSE file system for ZIP archives (read-only)
This package provides an alternative to fuse-zip. Compared to fuse-zip, it seams reading performance is improved, but write mode was dropped. Version 1.0.0 was forked from fuse-zip 0.7.2 mount-zip is a tool allowing to open, explore and extract ZIP archives. mount-zip mounts a ZIP archive as a read-only FUSE file system, which can then be explored and read by any application. mount-zip aspires to be an excellent ZIP mounter. It starts quickly, uses little memory, decodes encrypted files, and provides on-the-go decompression and caching for maximum efficiency. The mount point should be an empty directory. If the mount point doesn't exist yet, mount-zip creates it first. If no mount point is provided, mount-zip creates one in the same directory as the ZIP archive. /// It provides an alternative to fuse-zip. Compared to fuse-zip, it seams reading performance is improved, but write mode was dropped. This can be useful when short on space and we don't want to unzip the file but still access its content on the fly, for example on gitlab ci runners, or any docker/CI instance.
