Package: lzma-modules-2.6-itanium (2:2.6.30-4)

Lempel Ziv compression method (LZMA) for Linux 2.6 on Itanium

This package depends on the Lempel Ziv compression method (LZMA) modules for latest Linux kernel 2.6 on Itanium machines.

LZMA is a compression algorithm, based on the famous Lempel Ziv compression method.

The main characteristics of the algorithm are very good compression, fast decompression, use of lot of RAM for compression and low usage of RAM for decompression.

LZMA provides high compression ratio and very fast decompression, so it is very suitable for embedded applications. For example, it can be used for ROM (firmware) compression.
