Hello. On my system Portage uses the following two variables for compressing files in /usr/share/doc:
> $ portageq envvar PORTAGE_COMPRESS > xz > $ portageq envvar PORTAGE_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE_SUFFIXES > css gif htm[l]? jp[e]?g js pdf png It seems anyway that some files are not compressed: > $ find /usr/share/doc -type f -regextype posix-extended ! -regex > ".*\.(css|gif|htm[l]?|jp[e]?g|js|pdf|png|xz)" | wc -l > 79 I won't list all of them here, just some examples: > /usr/share/doc/gnome-shell-3.4.2/AUTHORS > /usr/share/doc/udisks-2.0.0/html/udisks2/index.sgml > /usr/share/doc/groff-1.21-r1/pic.ps > /usr/share/doc/automake-1.12.5/amhello-1.0.tar.gz My goal is to have everything under /usr/share/doc compressed with xz, or at least to understand why something is being excluded from compression. Perhaps it is due to some additional rules I'm not aware of, or because of some bugs. I checked the ebuilds of the packages the previous files belong to, but I found nothing interesting. It would be great if anyone who is interested could check his/her own system too. Thank you.
