Hopefully the maintainer will reply soon. I also suggest that the pkg-descr be updated to include the following: FreeBSD 5 ships with bzip2 in the base system, but it is trimmed such that it includes only libbz2 plus the binaries for bzip2, bunzip2, bzcat, and bzip2recover. However, /usr/bin/bzgrep is a link to zgrep, which supports .bz2 files. FreeBSD 5 does not include the shell script version of bzgrep or the scripts for bzdiff and bzmore. FreeBSD 4 does not ship with bzip2 in the base system at all. This port installs the entire bzip2 package, including libbz2, the binaries for bzip2, bunzip2, bzcat/bz2cat, and bzip2recover, and the shell scripts for bzgrep, bzegrep, bzfgrep, bzdiff, and bzmore. -Mike
