Hi Everyone, Forgive my ignorance... There's a Wordpress blog on bzip2 at http://www.bzip.org/ . The page says to download from Sourceforge at https://sourceforge.net/projects/bzip2/ . Sourceforge is a mess and all of this looks very fishy. I doubt anyone would put a project there now. Sourceforge has tampered with projects in the past, and they force people to accept their spam when trying to signup for a mailing list (you cannot opt-out of "I agree to receive these communications from SourceForge.net"). Has Seward done anything since losing the bzip2 domain? Where is the location of Bzip2 nowadays? Sorry to ask here. I understand Seward is part of Valgrind, and hope he may field a message instead of leaving everyone in the dark. Jeff |

> Where is the location of Bzip2 nowadays? In practice: download the source to the .rpm package (Fedora, Red Hat, SuSE) or the .deb package (Debian, etc.). Within that is the original source used by maintainers of the .rpm or .deb. For instance on Fedora: $ dnf download --source bzip2 bzip2-1.0.6-26.fc28.src.rpm 548 kB/s | 785 kB 00:01 $ rpm -ql -p bzip2-1.0.6-26.fc28.src.rpm bzip2-1.0.4-bzip2recover.patch bzip2-1.0.4-cflags.patch bzip2-1.0.4-saneso.patch bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz <<<<< the original source bzip2-ldflags.patch bzip2.pc bzip2.spec set-out-file-to-null.patch $ rpm --install bzip2-1.0.6-26.fc28.src.rpm $ ls -l rpmbuild/SOURCES/bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz -rw-rw-r--. 1 user group 782025 Sep 22 2010 rpmbuild/SOURCES/bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz $ |
