Comment:
Attached is the diff between the last official version 3.0 and the "3.1"
tarball Gabe attached here. It contains a few different changes:
1. Modifications to the Makefile to move the html version of the manpage
from the man directory to the web directory, which seems unimportant, and
it's also inappropriate to patch Makefile since it is generated from
Makefile.in.
2. Changes to the output of `rzip64 --help`.
3. Fixing a bug that prevents rzip64 from deleting the compressed file
when decompressing.
4. Changes to the verbosity of output.
5. Changing some whitespace.
6. Changes to the message printed when a child process is finished.
7. Increasing the version from 3.0 to 3.1.
8. Fixing a build failure on macOS due to the unknown type
`__sighandler_t`.
Of these changes, I will only include (3) and (8) because they are the
only ones that are necessary to build the software correctly. The rest may
be valuable contributions but it's not up to us to decide whether to
include them; that should be left to the developers of rzip64. I will send
Gabe's proposals to the developers of rzip64 if I can figure out how to
contact them.
I also needed to add a Makefile.in patch to fix the installation to honor
DESTDIR and to fix the location where the manpage is installed.
Since Gabe did not respond to Larry's request for modifications in this
ticket 8 years ago and since Gabe does not maintain any other ports and
has not filed any other tickets, I assume Gabe is no longer interested in
this, so I will list myself as its maintainer instead.
