How would one use them if they're installed as a single .xz file per package? Is there a trick that exists to allow this to even work for "man man" ? I'm guessing you *could* have an extension wrapper that handles a symlink to such a file to extract the desired content, but that seems messy. ( ie: less /path/to/bar.polyxz => polyxz /path/to/bar.polyxz => polyxz reads symlink target, decodes the .xz file and returns "bar" from it based on the symlink source name ) Though I'd imagine that would mitigate the marginal savings made by unifying them as a single file by needing extra file system allocations to house the symlinks. -- Kent
