nudruff project is a tool choosing files optimally for equal-sized archives (e.g. CD-Rs). Input is a file with a filename on each line.

Grouping is supported (this means, you can specify which files are always put into the same archive). GUIs and wrapper scripts are "planned".

Installation:

nudruff is currently written in Haskell and you need ghc, the Glasgow Haskell Compiler. It's tested with ghc6. Change the Makefile if you have another version.

Then type

make

and as `root'

make install

to install (to copy the binary to /usr/local/bin by default).

Done.

Usage:

Invocation: nudruff

This example should show how `nudruff' is used:

nudruff 734003200 test.conf

734003200 (= 700*1024*1024) is CD-R 700MB size.

test.conf contains:

DIR /home/foo/media/music/
index.txt
Band1/only_title_of_that_band.mp3
{
Band2/Our First Album/intro.ogg
Band2/Our First Album/first_song.ogg
Band2/Our First Album/second_song.ogg
Band2/Our First Album/third_song.ogg
Band2/Our First Album/another_song.ogg
Band2/Our First Album/outro.ogg
Band2/Our First Album/hidden_track.ogg
Band2/bootlegsong.mp3
}
Band3/test.mp3
DIR /home/foo/media/video/
{
fun/man_with_hat.avi
fun/man_without_hat.avi
fun/honeypot.ogg
DIR /home/foo/media/
