Yorhel de0227cdbd Add file download information window + SHA-256 + more checksums
I'm not the biggest fan of how the info window works, but it works
anyway, and it's easy to apply to *all* the download links.

Also decided to sign & checksum static binaries. Those are just as
important (if not more so) than the source tarballs.

Yes, I did verify that my copies of all the files were still in line
with the other checksums before creating the SHA256 checksums. :)

And I think I'm done fiddling with the site now; This is the last of my
planned changes. ...except that the site kinda sucks in text-mode
browsers now. Hmm. But how do I improve that?

% NCurses Disk Usage

Ncdu is a disk usage analyzer with an ncurses interface. It is designed to find space hogs on a remote server where you don't have an entire graphical setup available, but it is a useful tool even on regular desktop systems. Ncdu aims to be fast, simple and easy to use, and should be able to run in any minimal POSIX-like environment with ncurses installed.

Download

Latest version
1.14 (ncdu-1.14.tar.gz - changes)

I also have convenient static binaries for Linux i486 and ARM. Download, extract and run; no compilation or installation necessary (uses musl).

Development version
The most recent code is available on a git repository and can be cloned with git clone git://g.blicky.net/ncdu.git/. The repository is also available for online browsing.

Ncdu is entirely written in C and available under a liberal MIT license.

Packages and ports

Ncdu has been packaged for quite a few systems, here's a list of the ones I am aware of:

AIX - Alpine Linux - ALT Linux - Arch Linux - CRUX - Cygwin - Debian - Fedora - FreeBSD - Frugalware - Gentoo - GNU Guix - OpenBSD - Mac OS X (Fink - Homebrew - MacPorts) - Puppy Linux - Solaris - Slackware - Slax Linux - Ubuntu - Void Linux

Packages for RHEL and (open)SUSE can be found on the Open Build Service.

Packages for NetBSD, DragonFlyBSD, MirBSD and others can be found on pkgsrc.

A port to z/OS is available here.
