Created attachment 233793 [details] Symlink between brz and bzr for compatibility Some tools know of bzr (Bazaar) yet not of brz (Breezy). Since brz is based off bzr and retains a lot of the CLI interface, a symlink to brz can be useful at times. Here is a patch to the port to make a symlink for backwards compatibility. I typically do not use brz but have run across this need from time to time. I also noticed that the Arch Linux package also makes this symlink. If this is an issue, this could be placed behind a option.

Sounds reasonable to me. I believe the Debian package does similarly (at least, I heard once it did; 30 seconds of google gives a mixed message about the current state...). bzr's been gone long enough that I doubt there's much point trying to conditionalize or get too smart about it. I have vague memories of a more declarative way of adding symlinks, but a little poking around ports/Mk and the handbook don't turn up anything.
