Hi all
While trying to lookup XCB API documentation (
/usr/share/doc/libxcb/manual/ ), I noticed that it is compressed, now
I'm wondering is there anyway to install that documentation in the
decompressed form, hmm...?
Thanks
Ashish Shukla

See the PORTAGE_COMPRESS* variables in the make.conf man page. I
typically use
PORTAGE_COMPRESS=""

I tink there is the PORTAGE_COMPRESS variable.
Set PORTAGE_COMPRESS="" in make.conf and portage will not compress
documentation.
There is also PORTAGE_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE_SUFFIXES which you can extend
to your needs. Currently it defaults to
PORTAGE_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE_SUFFIXES="css gif htm[l]? jp[e]?g js pdf png"

Any ideas why PORTAGE_COMPRESS_* aren't set on my box. BtW, how do I see
what PORTAGE_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE_SUFFIXES is set to.
Thanks in advance,

why?
less /usr/share/doc/libxcb/manual/blah.doc.bz2

Because you haven't set them. Therefore they take the defaults. BTW,
'emerge --info' doesn't print out every portage variable, only the
"interesting" ones (e.g. ones useful for submitting bug reports).

# cat /etc/make.conf /etc/make.globals /etc/make.profile/make.defaults \
|grep -m 1 ^PORTAGE_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE_SUFFIXES
Also the man page for make.conf lists many common defaults.

I know how to view and decompress compressed-files, but I don't want to
decompress file and but then after decompressing, I'll lose the ability
to track the file from portage's database.

Yes, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE_SUFFIXES is set to that default. Thanks
for mentioning this. Anyways, re-emerging libxcb fixes the issue for
me. Maybe it is some bug in old portage version (which I used when I
emerged libxcb), as I recently upgraded to 2.2_rc12 to have KDE 4.1.2.
Thanks

Because bzgrep and many others haven't been written.

You don't need bzgrep or what ever....just bzcat /ab/def/sd/blah.bz2 | grep
yay
Or if you want to use the cases above, a "| grep yay" should be more than
enough...plus you get the colors in the results.
It does get a little annoying when you want to use grep for all files in the
directory, but nothing a little for loop cannot fix:
for i in /path/to/dir/*; do echo $i; bzcat $i | grep yay; done

I still don't understand - if you know how to view a compressed file
"without" decompressing it, then what do you want to decompress it for?

Sorry, not good enough. The disk space taken by uncompressed docs is
hardly significant these days, and grep -r is too handy to have to
live with shell programming just because part of the disk is compressed.
