Recently the author of 7-zip has released sources for console version [1], which is now available in the por= ts tree as archivers/7-zip. I mush say there is also an attempt to revive p7zip development [2], however it lags behind original 7-zip and seems unlikely to catch up in near future. Since your ports use p7zip I encourage you to check 7-zip and probably switch your ports to it. For now archivers/7-zip installs single binary 7zz to avoid conflict with p7zip, but this can be changed, if we decide switch everything to archivers/7-zip. Alternatively, we may adjust USE=3D7z to handle both 7-zip and p7zip depending on user preference. 1. https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45797/thread/cec5e63147/ 2. https://github.com/jinfeihan57/p7zip --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
