 |
|
portage installs files in /usr/share/doc bz2 compressed.
for example:
├── zip-3.0-r7
│ ├── BUGS.bz2
│ ├── CHANGES.bz2
│ ├── README.CR.bz2
│ ├── README.bz2
│ ├── TODO.bz2
│ ├── WHATSNEW.bz2
│ ├── WHERE.bz2
│ ├── algorith.txt.bz2
│ ├── extrafld.txt.bz2
│ ├── ntsd.txt.bz2
│ ├── timezone.txt.bz2
│ ├── txtvsbin.txt.bz2
│ └── ziplimit.txt.bz2
This is not very convenient.
Is there any way I can configure portage install plain doc files? Especially when my harddisk is large enough and uses filesystem compression?

But why?
You may use zcat, bzcat etc to view them just fine.

Hi fpemud,
as alamahant stated. Even less is working right away.
However as Gentoo is about choice have a look at
Especially
| Code: | PORTAGE_COMPRESS = "bzip2"
This variable contains the command used to compress documentation during the install phase.
PORTAGE_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE_SUFFIXES = "gif htm[l]? jp[e]?g pdf png"
This variable contains a space delimited list of file suffixes for which matching files are excluded when the PORTAGE_COMPRESS command is
called. Regular expressions are supported and the match is performed only against the portion of the file name which follows the last period
character.
PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS = "-9"
This variable contains flags for the PORTAGE_COMPRESS command.

Best Regards,
Holger |

hdcg, Thanks.
alamahant, yes you're right, the inconvenience is minor, tools are ready. But there're still some cases.
For example:
net-libs/stem installs its doc as a web data directory, which is comprised from many rst files (restructured text) hyperlinked to each other.
There would be no tools (like dev-python/sphinx) to process or view them conveniently if they are in compressed format. |
