Description

The bitbucket service offers zip, gz and bz2 downloads of automatically generated tarballs. The bitbucket portgroup currently uses gz downloads. Is there a reason why it does not use bz2 which compresses better and is smaller?

If we change the default to "use_bzip2 yes", all ports that use this download feature would have to have "use_bzip2 no" added until the next time they're updated, to prevent checksum mismatches.
