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.
