Hello,
   Please find Attached, a new port archivers/mkz that I published at:
https://github.com/gitspoked/mz called `mkz` and also in rust/crates.rio.
I am looking to push to ports.

TLDR: `mkz` is a tar-style archiver whose backend is a reversible, schema-free
auto-columnar transform (autocol) followed by zstd. It is not a new
compressor: the transform reshapes line-oriented data (logs, CSV, JSONL)
so zstd sees per-column-homogeneous streams. Its product is measurably
smaller on that kind of data, and behind a per-block never-worse gate.
Provably never larger than zstd alone. Archives carry an end-to-end SHA-256,
verified on extract.

This is a pure-C upstream build: six C files, depends on libzstd only;
we have vendored SHA-256 and base-95. It is byte-compatible in both
directions with the Rust reference implementation, and the wire format
is specified: https://github.com/gitspoked/mkz/blob/main/FORMAT.md

Tested on 7.9/arm64: distinfo reproduces from the hosted release
tarball via the the framework fetch; make / make fake / make package /
make test  upstream's three test programs --
port-lib-depends-check all clean; portcheck clean.
    - attached: mkz-obsd-port.tgz.  digest 9a7fe784…
    - exact tarball was revalidated

The C port was made from the Rust implementation with an OpenBSD first-target
I know how vigorously accountable you hold security standards to
within this circle.
I figured, before I submitted to any other ports trees, why not see if
we can break it
apart here first, to be sure.

I am upstream and listed on MAINTAINER; I am happy to take feedback and
keep the port current. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thx

Thank you,
