Description Libor Polčák 2018-11-24 15:09:22 UTC
eix -v lessfs | grep Homepage
     Homepage:            http://www.lessfs.com

However, http://www.lessfs.com shows "This domain has been registered by a LeaseWeb customer", however, there does not seem to be any lessfs related content.

Is the webpage and maybe the whole project dead?

Is this sf repository a good alternative? 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lessfs/

Hardly any distribution ships this de duplication tool which seems dead since +5 years.
https://repology.org/metapackage/lessfs/versions

It looks very experimental to me after reading the documentation in the source tree. Is it really still usable?
