Any Chance of a Peazip package?

#1 Post by texneus »

I've been using this for years as a portable application, but then today I was wondering why I'm making myself "suffer". I prefer this for compressing because you can control the degree of compression rather than whatever KEC chooses. It is also much faster at compressing/decompressing than KEC and in general seems like a well though out and easy to use GUI. KDE integration is not necessary for me (and I imagine Dolphin context windows will get a bit busy if it did), so I'll leave that up to the packager.

Hi, @texneus

PeaZIP in the latest version is in MXPI|Flatpaks.

If you'll avoid all that flatpak-runtimes stuff - like me ;) ...

... I always use the so called 'linux portable version' in the GTK2 variant from their github repo, which can be placed into e.g: ~/.local/bin/peazip.

example ...

Code: Select all

wget 'https://github.com/peazip/PeaZip/releases/download/9.5.0/peazip_portable-9.5.0.LINUX.GTK2.x86_64.tar.gz'
tar xaf peazip_portable-9.5.0.LINUX.GTK2.x86_64.tar.gz
cd peazip*
./peazip&

No root or sudo required for installation or usage of that single static pascal binary :popcorn:

kind regards
