Hello all, The pxz port is badly created (installing the package pulls in the entire gcc6 suite and gcc-ecj, just to deploy the binary), and ends up needing over 500mib of space for a very simple utility. I was about to fix it when I found out that upstream pxz is both abandoned and broken ([0], and in particular, [1]). Perhaps it should be dropped? Thank you, Mahmoud Al-Qudsi NeoSmart Technologies [0]: https://github.com/jnovy/pxz/issues [1]: https://github.com/jnovy/pxz/issues/29
