Hi all, I kinda discovered that info can read compressed files. This is excellent news, but it seems poorly documented. I can find information about install-info being able to read compressed files and compressed dir files, but that's it!
Shouldn't install-info also support a means to compress when installing? This is prompted by the people at MacPorts that are considering not installing the documentation of Bison, to save disk space. The info file is 537KB uncompressed, 147KB with gzip, and 112KB with bzip2. Shouldn't Automake also help install compressed files? Shouldn't the GNU Coding Standards promote installing compressed info files and man pages?
