Free create zip files software for linux

Create PlayList is a service menu for KDE and has been tested with kde 3.5.4 and 3.5.5.

The service is available over directories. It will create a M3U playlist file with .mp3, .ogg, .wav... files into the directory. Filename can be changed.

To create M3U playlist file the script uses a program called "fapg" (http://royale.zerezo.com/fapg/). Thanks for making our live a little bit easier.

To install:

- Copy "create-m3u-playlist.desktop" to YOURHOME/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/
- Copy "playlister" to any directory included into your $PATH (i.e. /usr/local/bin your may be root to do this) and give it execution permision (i.e. chmod 755 playlister as root)
- Make sure "fapg" is installed in your system.

Create CVSup is a script that will create a cvsup server mirror for FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.

Create CVSup script has been tested and is known to work under FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.

metazip project is an Apache 2.0 module that allows you to serve dynamically-constructed, uncompressed zip files. Thus, your users can choose to download individual files or entire collections, but you dont have to reserve disk space for both.
Main features:
- Extremely efficient, by hooking into Apaches filter system.
- Works equally well for zip, tar, and other archive files.
- Supports resumption of aborted downloads.
- Lightweight, self-contained C implementation.
- Free, open source license (Apache).
Version restrictions:
- Works for uncompressed archives only.
- Requires command line utility to construct .zip.mz "template" file.
- Currently only supported on Linux with GNU bash, gcc, and make.
metazip works by comparing a real, uncompressed archive to the files it contains. It then constructs a special .mz file that contains the "difference" between the files and the archive. This difference contains the metadata that the archive tool uses to extract the files. metazip does not interpret this metadata; it simply records it in the .mz file. After the .mz file has been created, the original archive file can be deleted. Simply place the newly-created .mz file in the same directory as the files it references. The mz command-line utility takes care of most of the details.
When the .mz file is requested, metazip "glues together" the files and the contents of the .mz file to reconstruct the archive file. Because metazip hooks into Apaches filter system, Apache handles all of the heavy lifting. metazip merely creates some high-level data structures.
Therefore, metazips overhead is practically negligible. In addition, Apaches normal functions for resuming aborted downloads, calculating the content length, setting headers, etc. work identically for static files and for metazips dynamically-generated output.
[Note: The only "catch" is that metazip must be prepared to handle its input in arbitrary-sized chunks (called "bucket brigades" in Apache-speak), even though in practice the input will generally be in one large buffer (because its input is the small .mz file). This is reflected in metazips code structure (in metazip.c), but is completely transparent to you.]

Files Zip for Plone project allows users to download all files from a folder (recursively) in a ZIP archive.

Adds a document action to folders (and folderish contents) that enables to download all files and images from archetypes based contents available from that folder in a ZIP file.

Optionally, the user may get the DC metadata of the contents that provide files in XML-RDF format in the ZIP file.

Kenzip is a frontend for p7-zip.

You can create password protected 7z and zip archives with this python-qt3 utility

(Unfortunately ark does not support password protected archives.) KenZip has feasible dependency, you can install it to almost any existing distro.

It has been tested on OpenSuSE 10.2, Debian testing 2006.01. and Kanotix 2006-01-RC4 using the distros python qt3 package.

Do not forget to install python qt3 and p7-zip before! Prefer the distros package from repository for Debian based distributions, and the binary installer for other linux distros.

Archive::Zip is a Perl module which provides an interface to ZIP archive files.

SYNOPSIS

# Create a Zip file
use Archive::Zip qw( :ERROR_CODES :CONSTANTS );
my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();

# Add a directory
my $dir_member = $zip->addDirectory( dirname/ );

# Add a file from a string with compression
my $string_member = $zip->addString( This is a test, stringMember.txt );
$string_member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_DEFLATED );

# Add a file from disk
my $file_member = $zip->addFile( xyz.pl, AnotherName.pl );

# Save the Zip file
unless ( $zip->writeToFileNamed(someZip.zip) == AZ_OK ) {
die write error;
}

# Read a Zip file
my $somezip = Archive::Zip->new();
unless ( $somezip->read( someZip.zip ) == AZ_OK ) {
die read error;
}

# Change the compression type for a file in the Zip
my $member = $somezip->memberNamed( stringMember.txt );
$member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_STORED );
unless ( $zip->writeToFileNamed( someOtherZip.zip ) == AZ_OK ) {
die write error;
}

The Archive::Zip module allows a Perl program to create, manipulate, read, and write Zip archive files.

Zip archives can be created, or you can read from existing zip files.
Once created, they can be written to files, streams, or strings. Members can be added, removed, extracted, replaced, rearranged, and enumerated. They can also be renamed or have their dates, comments, or other attributes queried or modified. Their data can be compressed or uncompressed as needed.
Members can be created from members in existing Zip files, or from existing directories, files, or strings.

This module uses the Compress::Zlib library to read and write the compressed streams inside the files.

Archive::Any::Create is an abstract API to create archives (tar.gz and zip).

SYNOPSIS

use Archive::Any::Create;

my $archive = Archive::Any::Create->new;

$archive->container(foo); # top-level directory
$archive->add_file(bar.txt, $data); # foo/bar.txt
$archive->add_file(bar/baz.txt, $data); # foo/bar/baz.txt

$archive->write_file(foo.tar.gz);
$archive->write_file(foo.zip);

$archive->write_filehandle(*STDOUT, tar.gz);

Archive::Any::Create is a wrapper module to create tar/tar.gz/zip files with a single easy-to-use API.

Zip is a compression and file packaging utility for Unix, VMS, DOS, OS/2, Windows 9x/NT, Amiga, Atari, Macintosh, BeOS, SMS/QDOS, MVS, VM/CMS, and others.
Zip is analogous to a combination of the Unix commands tar(1) and compress(1) and is compatible with PKWAREs PKZIP and Nico Maks WinZip. Its part of the Info-ZIP project.
Main features:
- creating zipfiles in a pipe or on a device
- VMS and OS/2 extended file attributes
- conversion between Unix, MS-DOS and Macintosh text file formats
- the ability to run on most of your favorite operating systems.
Enhancements:
- fixed -R operation to match the supplied file patterns in all recursed subdirectories, like PKZIP 2.04 "-p -r" (or PKZIPC 4+ "-recurse")
- handle cases where -x, -R, and -i patterns are mixed
- new example C-Sharp code for using DLLs
- added some directory-search speedups
- fixed bug when encrypting large uncompressible files
- fixed Windows NTFS time problem
- fixed VMS logical name parse problem
- added VMS DEBUG option
- updated VMS help
- fixed selection of files to delete by date
- added -MM option where each input file pattern must match at least one file and all input files must be readable
- added check for when Zip tries to exceed seek limit in output file
- minor changes to compile with Visual C++ 2005
- added support for Unix FIFOs (named pipes)
- other minor fixes
