######### REGISTRATION DETAILS ######### 

Full Name:
----------
  unpackfs

System Group Name:
-----------------
  unpackfs

Type:
-----
  non-GNU software & documentation

License:
-------- 
  GNU General Public License V2 or later

Description:
------------
  `unpackfs' is a filesystem based on fuse (filesystem in userspace) for
transparent unpacking of archives.  It shows the content of archives right
beside them in the filesystem hierarchy.

`unpackfs' shows the content of an existing directory `rootdir' at a new
mountpoint `mountdir'.  It uses the magic library (from the command `file',
see `man file') to recognize the type of each file in `rootdir'. 
If the magic type matches one of the types in the config file of `unpackfs',
it runs the appropriate command to unpack or convert the matched file.  The
unpacked content is stored for futher access in a cache `cachedir'.  At the
mountpoint `mountdir' the merged content of the two directories `rootdir' and
`cachedir' is shown.

The source code is available at:
http://hepp.gmxhome.de/download/unpackfs/unpackfs-0.0.1.tar.gz


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  required: make, gcc, libmagic (from `file'), libfuse (from `fuse').

no special unpacker is required, but without _any_ unpacker the software is
useless, so some of them e.g. gzip, bzip2, tar, ar are required.
