[gentoo-dev] Gzipped HTML docs in /usr/share/doc

[gentoo-dev] Gzipped HTML docs in /usr/share/doc

[Stefan Boresch]

I have recently stumbled across a lot of gzipped *.html *.htm
files in the /usr/share/doc hierarchy.  I don't like it very much
since this breaks all navigation links.  My question is: is this
intended, should I write bug reports, should I submit patches (provided
I figure out who is the 'culprit' for the compression (I suppose this is
a 'feature' of ebuild at some level)

Thanks,

Stefan Boresch

PS: Assuming that the compression of documentation is done
semi-automatically by ebuild, might it not be the easiest to either
exclude htm(l) pages from compression, or make the behavior user
controllable...?

You are right. Leave all directories which contains html-documentation
without compression or put all files in one tar file and compress this
file.

Greetings

There is a "dohtml" command available in ebuild scripts for just this
purpose.  I think you should feel free to file bugs against any ebuild
that installs html files in compressed form.
