The ports cluster has finished building a gzip package set...it'll hopefully make its way to the FTP sites sometime soon. (FYI: This package set will also be the basis of the packages for 4.7-RC2.) (Thanks to Kris Kennaway for helping with the ports infrastructure and package building aspects of this.) I've gotten a number of emails to the general effect of "Why don't you guys like bzip2 packages?" Once again, it's not that we (RE) think it's a bad idea...the problem is that our support for bzip2 packages isn't mature enough for a release. Thanks for understanding.
