Dear fellow devleopers, I would like to propose an import of liblzma and the utilities xz, xzdec and lzmainfo to base (vendor -> contrib). As I was informed, libarchive is already lzma-ready, some of our existing code could take advantage of liblzma instantly. The source code is imported from: http://tukaani.org/xz/xz-4.999.9beta.tar.gz All GPLv2, LGPLv2.1 and GPLv3 parts are stripped from the code (they cover only the build system and unimportant scripts). liblzma, xz, xzdec, lzmainfo are public domain licensed. A working patchset against HEAD (includes modified lesspipe.sh): http://people.freebsd.org/~mm/patches/xz/ The only patched file is src/common/bswap.h, with the patch from the archivers/xz port. Comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks, mm
