Calm down, Pav. Then -- visit archivers/lzma to read more on this archiver.= =20 Then -- open one of the MASTER_SITES and examine the difference in size=20 between .tar.bz2 and .tar.lzma: ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ The reduction (30%) in traffic for hundreds of mirrors, combined with the=20 reduced space-use on millions of /usr/ports/distfiles and CD-ROMS is=20 certainly worth it... I wish, more vendors were aware of this new archiver... > Please revert that. I'll take that under advisement. Am I to assume, you have no /other/ issues= =20 with the patch? Thanks! Yours, -mi
