A compression utility designed to be a replacement for compress

 Gzip (GNU zip) is a compression utility designed to be a replacement
for compress. Its main advantages over compress are much better
compression and freedom from patented algorithms. 

gzip history

v. 1.21
date: 2007/07/23 09:35:28;  author: rafan;  state: Exp;  lines: +0 -2
- Set --mandir and --infodir in CONFIGURE_ARGS if the configure script
  supports them.  This is determined by running ``configure --help'' in
  do-configure target and set the shell variable _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS
  which is then passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS.
- Remove --mandir and --infodir in ports' Makefile where applicable
  Few ports use REINPLACE_CMD to achieve the same effect, remove them too.
- Correct some manual pages location from PREFIX/man to MANPREFIX/man
- Define INFO_PATH where necessary
- Document that .info files are installed in a subdirectory relative to
  PREFIX/INFO_PATH and slightly change add-plist-info to use INFO_PATH and
  subdirectory detection.
