/usr/ports/archivers/xz on my (quite old) 7-STABLE installation.
/usr/src/contrib/xz on my ("new") 8.2-STABLE installation.
So obviously it's a port that got incorporated into the
base system which must have happened somewhere between
7 and 8.

There are several higher numbered versions in ports. You mean, if xz is actually in FreeBSD 7, which doesn't seem to be the case, is it absolutely necessary to disable builds of archivers/xz on 7? Or, for that matter, on 8 and 9? -- well, no, it isn't strictly necessary, but what's the point of not disabling the port when the same version of xz is in both the base system and the port, and rtld's default search pattern will favor the former over the latter? With the different versions of gcc, you are at least getting some functional differences. If naddy updates the port to 5.1.1 or 5.0.3, the case might be different. b. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

What I know is that I have a '7.2-RELEASE' i386 box, that's had nothing done to it after the original 'sysinstall' (from CDs, no net connectivity), as far as _adding_ anything. it does run a highly customized kernel, but that is the only 'post-install' change made.

It's xz compression, archivers/xz from ports, which is a LZMA compression and decompression tool (next to com- pression and uncompression, there are tools comparable to zcat, zgrep, zless and so on). Some details from the package description: XZ Utils is free general-purpose data compression software with a high compression ratio. XZ Utils is the successor to LZMA Utils. The core of the XZ Utils compression code is based on the LZMA SDK. The primary compression algorithm is currently LZMA2, which is used inside the .xz container format. With typical files, XZ Utils creates output 30% smaller than gzip and 15% smaller than bzip2. The XZ Utils package consists of several components: * liblzma is a compression library with an API similar to that of zlib. * xz is a command line tool with syntax similar to that of gzip. * xzdec is a decompression-only tool smaller than the full-featured xz tool. * A set of shell scripts (xzgrep, xzdiff, etc.) have been adapted from gzip to ease viewing, grepping, and comparing compressed files. * Emulation of the command line tools of LZMA Utils eases transition from LZMA Utils to XZ Utils.
