Here are some possible projects from which you can choose if you'd like to
|
|
contribute to UPX. Be sure to get in touch with us first to avoid
|
|
duplicate efforts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
User interface:
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
- Write a nifty Win32 GUI (in C++), but try to keep the size of the
|
|
final executable small. Compression should be in a separate
|
|
thread that calls do_one_file() [see src/work.cpp].
|
|
|
|
- Draw a nice UPX icon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
More formats:
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
- Amiga
|
|
|
|
- BeOS
|
|
|
|
- C64
|
|
|
|
- elks/8086 (this is a 16-bit linux-8086 kernel)
|
|
See http://www.elks.ecs.soton.ac.uk/
|
|
|
|
- freebsd/386 (generic), freebsd/elf386 (specialized).
|
|
Probably could share most of the linux code.
|
|
|
|
- add support for self-extracting HTML pages using a Javascript stub
|
|
(like the AlgART HTML Packer "AHP")
|
|
|
|
|
|
Existing formats:
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
- djgpp2/coff: add support for DLX dynamic loading
|
|
(see SEAL http://www.home.sk/public/seal/ )
|
|
|
|
- dos/com: add support for very long files - convert to exe if necessary
|
|
|
|
- dos/exe: implement filter support
|
|
|
|
- linux/i386:
|
|
- use the new assembly preprocessor stuff (ie. process the file
|
|
headers internally)
|
|
- UPX uncompressor daemon
|
|
- rewrite the stub in assembly (not sure if this is a good idea...)
|
|
|
|
- watcom/le: add support for per section compression, LX support, VXD
|
|
|
|
- win32/pe: display a nice dialog box in the stub in case
|
|
of problems (like importing a DLL or function fails)
|
|
- win32/pe: per section compression
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compression ratio:
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
- invent more effective filters
|
|
|
|
- I (Markus) will continue to work on better compression algorithms,
|
|
so be sure to do better than me if you plan working on this ;-)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other:
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
- anything else you think that could improve UPX...

Thanks for your contribution.
