Dear Ports Team,
(not subscribed to list, followup directly please)
You are all doing a great job! Keep it up!
I see that the Ports tree is provided as a GZIP'ed tar file from
http://www.freebsd.org/ports/. I am surprised why a Bzip2 version
is not provided?
I locally recompressed it, and the Bzip2 file comes to quite a
smaller size *relative* to the Gzip'ed file:
crashbox# du ports.tar.gz
24928 ports.tar.gz
crashbox# du ports.tar.bz2
19040 ports.tar.bz2
Just a suggestion anyway. :-)
