I sense some (understandable) frustration here. You're right in that it's not likely to work, once a gzip package set is uploaded for 4-STABLE. I wish you didn't have to go through that effort for nothing, but we judged that to be the best alternative available to us. > If the current pkg_add won't handle both, it's broken worse than ever. Which is why we're going back to gzip.
