</I>WOW, you are really working hard, thank you very much.
I know you said "game or astronomy related package", but I have
something else, we have no archiver with good GUI and full features (I
can't compress a folder with encryption in Ark), and there are great
open source apps that are waiting to be packaged:
FreeArc <A HREF="http://freearc.org/">http://freearc.org/</A>
this offers the best all around archiver I know, offers encryption and
top efficiency:
<A HREF="http://www.maximumcompression.com/data/summary_mf2.php#data">http://www.maximumcompression.com/data/summary_mf2.php#data</A>
also offers protection against damage of files (up to 20%) and other
interesting features.
PeaZip <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/projects/peazip">http://sourceforge.net/projects/peazip</A>
is great but it have issues with 74-bit Linux.
7-zip File Manager is also great but I think it is Windows only.
Hopefully you (or anybody interested) can bring these to Linux.
