Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
In commit [d7fd082d9e3ccc0a1366b3ad15ea8a7c832c9ed4/macports-ports], wget suddenly requires lzip instead of xz:
-use_xz yes +use_lzip yes
This requirement triggers installation of lzip, which doesn't offer any advantage over xz (while xz is usually already installed since plenty of other stuff requires it). It appears (and it's easy to check, even while browsing macports tickets) that about nobody except its own author uses lzip (also author of ddrescue, which explains why ddrescue is lzip compressed). I suggest to revert to an xz compressed archive to avoid installing useless additional stuff.

If the developers of wget distributed an xz-compressed tarball of version 1.19.2, I would have had the portfile continue to use it. But in 1.19.2 the developers stopped providing xz-compressed tarballs and started providing lz-compressed tarballs, so I switched the portfile to that.
