Description

Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression.

The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in RFC 7932.

a9c6f27c3f Lucas Holt archivers/py-brotli: update to 1.2.1 [security] (#1876)
## Summary Update archivers/py-brotli from 1.2.0 to 1.2.1 to fix CVE-2026-111497, an out-of-bounds write in the Brotli decoder that permits remote code execution. The extension builds its own copy of the C sources from the sdist rather than linking archivers/brotli. That's deliberate: it was set up that way when archivers/brotli lagged behind. So it doesn't get the fix from #1871 and needs its own bump. ## Changes - `Makefile`: PORTVERSION is now 1.2.1. - `distinfo`: regenerated. The checksum matches PyPI. - No patch or plist changes. `files/patch-setup.py` still applies. The build backend is unchanged (setuptools + pkgconfig, both already in BUILD_DEPENDS). ## Testing (MidnightBSD 4.0.9 amd64, py312) - `bmake makesum`, `bmake patch`, `bmake build`, `bmake fake` and `bmake …
251a3cf8a1 Lucas Holt archivers/py-brotli: add py-pkgconfig build dependency (#1607)
Fixes the Magus failure in run 648, port ID 2260569: ``` ERROR Missing dependencies: pkgconfig ``` ## Cause brotli 1.2.0's `pyproject.toml` lists `pkgconfig` in `build-system.requires`. The PEP 517 frontend (`python -m build`) checks every listed requirement before building, so the build fails on a clean builder, even though `setup.py` only imports `pkgconfig` when `USE_SYSTEM_BROTLI` is set. The port never declared the dependency. The 1.2.0 update (#1278) passed locally only because `py312-pkgconfig` was already installed. ## Fix Add `${PYTHON_PKGNAMEPREFIX}pkgconfig>=0:devel/py-pkgconfig@${PY_FLAVOR}` to `BUILD_DEPENDS`. `devel/py-pkgconfig` passes on Magus 4.1. The port still builds brotli's bundled C sources, as intended. …
a74685d005 Lucas Holt archivers/py-brotli: update to 1.2.0 (#1278)
1.0.9 -> 1.2.0. Required by `www/py-aiohttp` 3.14, whose `SPEEDUPS` option needs `Brotli>=1.2`. Part of #1269. - Switches from `distutils` to `pep517`, matching upstream's move to a wheel build - Upstream 1.2.0 derives its version from the git checkout, so `setup.py` is patched to use `PORTVERSION` (same patch FreeBSD uses) - Drops the vestigial `SHEBANG_FILES=python/bro.py`: that script was never packaged. Verified against the old 1.0.9_1 `.mport` — the installed file list is unchanged apart from `egg-info` becoming `dist-info`. ### Bundled C sources Unlike FreeBSD, this keeps the bundled brotli C sources rather than setting `USE_SYSTEM_BROTLI=1`. `archivers/brotli` in the tree is 1.1.0, below what py-brotli 1.2.0 wants, and that library has 26 dependents — updating it is a …
