Calm down, Pav. Then -- visit archivers/lzma to read more on this archiver.=
=20
Then -- open one of the MASTER_SITES and examine the difference in size=20
between .tar.bz2 and .tar.lzma:

 ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/

The reduction (30%) in traffic for hundreds of mirrors, combined with the=20
reduced space-use on millions of /usr/ports/distfiles and CD-ROMS is=20
certainly worth it...

I wish, more vendors were aware of this new archiver...

> Please revert that.

I'll take that under advisement. Am I to assume, you have no /other/ issues=
=20
with the patch? Thanks!

Yours,
