Use of bzip2, which is intended to replace bzip, is recommended.
The algorithms used in bzip2 are different and incompatible with
those used in bzip. To open .bz archives, you must use bzip, and
to open .bz2 archives you must use bzip2. Although bzip2 sometimes
yields slightly larger output, it is faster, more reliable, maintained,
much more widely used and is believed to be patent-free.
Julian Seward, the author of bzip, gives this warning:
This program may or may not infringe certain US patents
pertaining to arithmetic coding and to the block-sorting
transformation itself. Opinions differ as to the precise
legal status of some of the algorithms used. Nevertheless,
you should be aware that commercial use of this program
could render you liable to unfriendly legal action.
*/*: reassign ports to maintainer
that were returned to pool due to BSDforge.com unavailability (5 days).
Also, remove DEPRECATED from some ports as they have a maintainer and
he is still willing to maintain.

archivers/bzip: Unbreak and return to pool
* Update MASTER_SITES
* Modernize port
* Return to pool as bsdforge.com has expired
Approved by: portmgr (build fix)
*/*: Mark all ports that uses bsdforge.com in MASTER_SITES broken
The domain bsdforge.com has expired, mark all ports that only
uses bsdforge.com as broken (unfetchable). Additionally set ports that
uses bsdforge.com as primary site and have broken mirrors as broken
too as they're also unfetchable.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Patents are a complicated topic, and their regulation varies depending on
jurisdiction. Patents are not necessarily related to the license and so
should not be connected to the license framework.
As a project we will officially remove all patent limitations within the
ports tree and leave it to the user or consumer to deal with their local
legislation to determine if they can use the software without legal
restrictions.

Resurrect archivers/bzip and assign maintainer
This port was removed due not having a publically available distfile.
That has been fixed per the PR with maintainership assigned to submitter.
Additionally:
* The patch-aa was renamed
* The patch-ab and patch-ac touched the same file; they were combined
and renamed
* DragonFly support was added (hence the portrevision bump)
* GPLv2 license was annotated
* 80-column formatting was respected
* PLIST sorted

For a number of ports in archives category, trim the header and drop leading
indefinite article from COMMENT line; also fix few noticed styles bugs while
I am here.
- Remove the DESTDIR modifications from individual ports as we have a new,
fully chrooted DESTDIR, which does not need such any more.

This software is licensed under the GNU GPL. As mentioned in the
DESCR file and in ports/LEGAL, it may be covered by patents. I
changed NO_CDROM to RESTRICTED.
I also added a DEPRECATED line because the DESCR file recommends
the use of bzip2 instead of bzip.
Explain more clearly why users might need to install this port.
Mention the fact that bzip2 sometimes compresses less efficiently.
Remove the WWW: line, since the listed site has no information about
this port. Credit the author for text taken from his README.
