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

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.
