William, I'd be interested in what this does for you in practical
terms.
In practicality, lzma and lzma2 has better compression than gzip or
bzip2, and the script needs to be updated.
lzma and lzma2 have the best decompression times and best compression
ratios (hence seeing lzma2 compressed source tarballs on GNU servers),
and compression may take a bit longer, if we are going to include the
compressdoc in BLFS, then keep it updated. If there is no practical
use for the script then remove it from BLFS. If it's there, then it
should be updated. In the mean time, I will have my updates available
to the community of them to use and manipulate as they wish.
The script compresses man pages and info files, may as well add xz to
it since man or man db and texinfo can use lzma and lzma2.
Practicality is not the issue.
As long as it is in the book, it should be maintained.
Sincerely,
William Harrington
