I'm sure there is a public algorithm / implementation. My question here is: is there an existing archive format (like .7z) that integrates it to the archive format and knows to update the error-correction data on archive update? Maybe not in a way that is as user-friendly as RAR, but "halfway there".
Or are you suggesting all my .7z files should come with a sibling .par2, that I must remember to regenerate after every change of the .7z ? I know I was asking here about "Usability-aside alternatives", but that alternative seems quite inconvenient and below the bar I was ready to accept when asking for less-user-friendly stuff.
