--- Comment #1 from Max Brazhnikov <makc@FreeBSD.org> ---
Hi folks,
p7zip is outdated unofficial port of 7-zip. Recently the author of 7-zip has
released sources for console version [1], which is now available in the ports
tree as archivers/7-zip. I mush say there is also an attempt to revive p7zip
development [2], however it lags behind original 7-zip and seems unlikely to
catch up in near future. Since your ports use p7zip I encourage you to check
7-zip and probably switch your ports to it.
For now archivers/7-zip installs single binary 7zz to avoid conflict with
p7zip, but this can be changed, if we decide switch everything to
archivers/7-zip. Alternatively, we may adjust USE=7z to handle both 7-zip
and p7zip depending on user preference.
