[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, Here is a patchset that replaces the GNU gzip with NetBSD's gzip implementation, which uses zlib to do actual compress/decompress operation: Go to your src/usr.bin and execute the following shar archive: http://people.freebsd.org/~delphij/for_review/bsd_gzip/shar-bsd-gzip-20061009 Then, go to src/ and apply the following patch: http://people.freebsd.org/~delphij/for_review/bsd_gzip/patch-remove-gnu-gzip-01 Currently this gzip implementation should work as a drop-in replacement for GNU gzip. I am still working on some style issues here, etc., so the current focus is functional test. Any sort of comments are welcome.
