It is in the 'modern' bzip2 repository since 2½ years: https://gitlab.com/bzip2/bzip2/-/blob/master/bzip2.pc.in Alas, there was no bzip2 release since then. > But bzip2 seems to be pretty lightweight and has a license that > appears to be amenable to the FreeType license, so why not just add > it to the repo? It simply doesn't belong to FreeType. Starting to add optional stuff into our git repository for foreign library is definitely a no-go. Werner
