Hi Alex,

thank you for your effort.
I have now changed the code as you proposed and uploaded the new Tarball.

Hi Andre,

I am reviewing your submission on behalf of Savannah, sorry for the delay. There are a few issues with the project as submitted:

  • You are not using the standard GPL license header, e.g. in the file algorithms.tex. Please follow the GPL howto since it is sound legal advice.
  • All files need to carry the header, even text-only ones like the readme or binary files like algorithm.pdf.
  • Just a recommendation: the tarball and top-level directory might carry the version number, such as bigstuff-0.1.tar.gz or bigstuff-0.1/. This is more convenient for potential users and developers.


Can you upload an updated tarball so we can continue with the review process? Thanks!

Registration Details


  • Name: Bignum Compression
  • System Name:  bigstuff
  • Type: non-GNU software & documentation
  • License: GNU General Public License v2 or later





Description:

bigstuff is a loosless compression command.
It calculates a given file into a big number.
It is written in C. For the calculations the gmplib is needed.

The algorithms used in this project are, as far as I know, invented by me. So it is very experimental code. Maybe some experts in compression algorithms look over the code and the comcept.  



Other Software Required:

gmplib + gpl + http://gmplib.org/



Tarball URL:

http://savannah.gnu.org/submissions_uploads/bigstuff.tar.gz
