The lzip Portfile 59950 2009-10-27 23:47:57Z vinc17 macports.org $

PortSystem 1.0

Name: lzip
Version: 1.8
epoch 20091025
Category: archivers
Platform: darwin
Maintainers: vinc17
Description: Compression program based on LZMA similar to gzip or bzip2
Long Description: Lzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with very safe integrity checking and a user interface similar to the one of gzip or bzip2. Lzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and compresses better than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution and data archiving.

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/lzip
%  sudo port install lzip

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching lzip
--->  Verifying checksum for lzip
--->  Extracting lzip
--->  Configuring lzip
--->  Building lzip with target all

--->  Staging lzip into destroot

--->  Installing lzip

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using lzip with these commands:

%  man lzip
%  apropos lzip
%  which lzip
%  locate lzip
