As long as this concerns manpages (where the code handles transparently both formats) this is fine. However, I'm not so happy with a "semi-random" compres/dont compress decision for other files. Maybe some program expects a certain filename to display a README? If there is a clear-cut decision, then the code can be adapted, but if the portage behaviour changes as soon as the file grows over a size limit, this is difficult... Not so important though, since this seems to be a more academic problem. -- Andreas K. Huettel Gentoo Linux developer (council, kde) dilfri...@gentoo.org http://www.akhuettel.de/
