Hi, I'm pleased to announce the first release of datapacker. datapacker is a tool to pack files into a minimum number of CDs, DVDs, or any other arbitrary bin. It groups file by size. It is designed to group files such that they fill fixed-size containers (called "bins") using the minimum number of containers. This is useful, for instance, if you want to archive a number of files to CD or DVD, and want to organize them such that you use the minimum possible number of CDs or DVDs. In many cases, datapacker executes almost instantaneously. Of particular note, the hardlink action can be used to effectively copy data into bins without having to actually copy the data at all. datapacker is a tool in the traditional Unix style; it can be used in pipes and call other tools. More information, including downloads and a full manual, can be found at: http://software.complete.org/datapacker datapacker is also available on Hackage.
