Research direction

The issue identifies PeaZip, its homepage, supported platforms, and its compiled-package status, but does not name a recipe, test, or other repository entry point. Start by reading the existing package recipes and their build, install, and validation conventions, then use the linked PeaZip project as the source reference. The work is done when PeaZip is packaged according to those conventions and builds successfully from a clean environment.

Description

Github pages

PeaZip is a free archive manager utility for BSD, Linux, macOS, and Windows, which offers a cross-platform Open Source alternative to proprietary software (WinZip, WinRar, etc.), also available as portable package not requiring installation.

Works with 200+ archive types and variants (7z, ace, arc, brotli, bz2, cab, gz, iso, pea, rar, tar, wim, zip, zipx, zpaq, zstandard...), handles spanned archives (001, r01, z01...).

Can convert existing archives, split/join files, edit comments, search in archives, add files to separate archives.

Supports multiple archive encryption standards, provides file hashing tools, and can export GUI tasks as CLI scripts.

PeaZip also provides a capable file manager: bookmarking, search, instant content filter, duplicate files detection, integrated text, hex, and image viewers.
