7 months ago The original zpaq appears to be abandoned,
So since zpaqfranz is already packaged in place of zpaq,
by a good amount of distros,
I think it makes sense for us to replace the zpaq package in favor of zpaqfranz.
See the issue below for an analogous situation.

Why is it worth to add this package?
zpaqfranz is an updated fork of zpaq, that has much more features (check out the sidebar for more) compared to zpaq. zpaqfranz takes deduplicated snapshots that is very useful for repeated backups (e.g backups that is ran daily) and very storage efficient compared to other alternative like 7z. I'd like to use it as a storage efficient solution to backup my files.
