pbzip2

[emigrant]

Any port or package for OpenBSD 5.1? pbzip2 is parallel bzip2, better for multi-core processors.

Did you look for it at http://openports.se/ ?

[jggimi]

There is no port in the tree, nor has there been any port of it posted to the ports@ mailing list.

You're welcome to port it if you have the skills and the time. See the OpenBSD Porter's Handbook.

Oops. I'm wrong -- there was a port posted to the ports@ mailing list:

nobody add pbzip2 to ports, weird :/

[jggimi]

Not weird. Quite common. So common that there is a FAQ entry about it.

15.4.8 - I submitted a new port/an update weeks ago. Why isn't it committed?

The ports team has very limited resources and no committer was able to look at your port/update in time. As frustrating as it may be, just ignore this fact. Take care of your port, send updates and eventually someone might take care of it. It has happened before that people suddenly have some free time to spend on committing ports or their interests shift to new areas and suddenly your old submission becomes interesting, if it is remembered.

maybe somebody replace bzip2 to pbzip2
