paq is a family of archivers with the best lossless compression ratios now
available across a wide variety of test data, according to several benchmarks.
A comparison of paq to other compression methods, on a 2GHz T3200, when
compressing a large text file:
Format Size Time (sec) Memory
comp decomp
----------- --------- -------------- -------
Uncompressed 3,152,896
compress 1,319,521 1.6 0.2 .1 MB
gzip -9 1,022,810 0.7 0.1 .1 MB
bzip2 -9 860,097 0.6 0.4 5 MB
p7zip (7z) 824,573 1.5 0.1 195 MB
xz -6 822,016 ? ? ?
zpaq c1 (fast) 806,959 2 2 38 MB
zpaq c2 (mid) 699,191 8 8 112 MB
zpaq c3 (max) 644,190 20 20 246 MB
The port uses the open ZPAQ specification, and contains: a public-domain C++
API for reading and writing ZPAQ compressed data to or from files or objects
in memory; serial and multi-threaded archivers; extra preprocessors for
compression; and stubs for creating self-extracting archives.
===> The following configuration options are available for paq-20140131_6:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
OPENMP=off: Parallel processing support via OpenMP
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
In addition to the manpages, see /usr/local/share/doc/paq/readme_*.txt
and the comments at the head of /usr/local/share/doc/paq/*.cpp
for instructions and details on usage and the algorithms employed. For
simplicity, the ".exe" suffix has been dropped from the zpsfx
self-expanding archive stub executable, to avoid confusion with win32
executable stubs. zpsfx can be further compressed with archivers/upx,
to yield smaller self-expanding archives.
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.

archivers/zpaq: fix build on armv6/armv7

*/*: Replace USE_GCC=any with USE_GCC=yes
USE_GCC=any has been equivalent to USE_GCC=yes in most cases (such
as i386 and amd64 since 12.x and depending on configuration 11.x,
most newer installations on other platforms, and 13.x across the
board).
Since commit 96c17633d90386b5bcf8 Mk/bsd.gcc.mk is treating them as
different spellings of the same, so continue the deorbiting of the
USE_GCC=any form and simply replace it with USE_GCC=yes.
This should not make any functional difference at all.

Bump PORTREVISION for ports depending on the canonical version of GCC
as defined in Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk which has moved from GCC 8.3
to GCC 9.1 under most circumstances now after revision 507371.
This includes ports
- with USE_GCC=yes or USE_GCC=any,
- with USES=fortran,
- using Mk/bsd.octave.mk which in turn features USES=fortran, and
- with USES=compiler specifying openmp, nestedfct, c11, c++0x, c++11-lang,
c++11-lib, c++14-lang, c++17-lang, or gcc-c++11-lib
plus, everything INDEX-11 shows with a dependency on lang/gcc9 now.
