I looked into this problem a little more before submitting any bug. At http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/eapi/ it says that, for EAPI=4, there is a default compression exclusion list: /usr/share/doc/${PF}/html. udisks-2.0.0 ebuild uses EAPI=4. So this explains why /usr/share/doc/udisks-2.0.0/html/udisks2/index.sgml and many other such files are not being compressed. I checked, and they all use EAPI=4 or EAPI=5. So the list of uncompressed files drops to 23 instead of 79. Then I looked for non-zero size files only, because it makes no sense to compress empty files. The list dropped to 9 files, belonging to 4 different ebuilds or 3 packages: > /usr/share/doc/automake-1.12.5/amhello-1.0.tar.gz > /usr/share/doc/libasyncns-0.8-r2/README > /usr/share/doc/automake-1.11.6/amhello-1.0.tar.gz > /usr/share/doc/groff-1.21-r1/meref.ps > /usr/share/doc/groff-1.21-r1/meref.me > /usr/share/doc/groff-1.21-r1/pic.ps > /usr/share/doc/groff-1.21-r1/pic.ms > /usr/share/doc/groff-1.21-r1/meintro.me > /usr/share/doc/groff-1.21-r1/meintro.ps Perhaps I may report these ones.
