All these FreeBSDers with their fixation on using ports
Why don't just install the pre-compiled binary package from say
ftp://ftp.nl.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD...s/xz-5.0.0.tbz ?
RE: cheap junk made in China
IIRC more than 90% of all computer hardware is manufactured in China. Your iPhone too, only that is sold expensively by Apple. All big names in the computer industry shop in China, where the Taiwanese motherboard manufacturers have their factories. These companies also buy cheap and sell expensive.
And in case you are in the USA, you better be nice to China. Remember without China buying up US government bonds the USA would be declared bankrupt
