Description:
Unalz is a utility to decompress .alz files. It supports bzip2/raw
format transformation, splitting the compressed file into smaller
chunks (alz, a00, a01, ...), extract password protected .alz files,
and CRC checks.
rpmlint is silent.
Alzip is a commercial software:
http://www.altools.com/
unalz is a free decompressor for alzip (Korean):
http://www.kipple.pe.kr/win/unalz/
This software normally comes with its own zlip and bzip2. I managed to patch it
to use the system's zlib. But it uses a private header file of bzip2 (which is
not in bzip2-devel package) and thus (part of) bzip2 has to be built in unalz.
This is the way it is in Ubuntu too.
Why rpmfusion?
I had submitted this to Fedora:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477106
But after consulting people on #fedora-devel who can read Korean, we figured
that the project webpage says:
"it is free as in cost, but you are prohibited from on commercial distribution
in magazines or CD"
So it is non-free and hence got rejected from Fedora. The author did not reply
to my email I sent 4 weeks ago to clear the license issue, therefore I brought
this to rpmfusion.
