the ebuild developer can choose whether to not compress some files, look for stuff like "docompress -x foo" in the ebuild it is described in PMS: https://dev.gentoo.org/~ulm/pms/head/pms.html#x1-12800011.3.3 (search for docompress) and in the devmanual http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/eapi/index.html Afaik pkgcore does ignore this command. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQ0vi3AAoJEFpvPKfnPDWzEiYH/jnqnIRVo82F8tK4E1eTqvsN u55oCbIEV6ySqBHHk3oHcX+K0PbuZkOUymauYVjoyf3fV33gBOLrKsKsY7U5wQvo 0ZpqY4C89UgpmuprLlflzu+Ehjnl0/lA9Qgfya94meWMBUetbddEu4ZwfJ7TG9PR TafiVpbQ/pu0WuhfNdvgkFHYySwG4Pk+afDFTFnBGYFyV3ud/4aeU4Nt3aZTVpAN xSBZdGFLM4WW/yKuXbbtg4UdSV4RBtX1UV6TRd4cjZxqOxPAdQXUXM3gQuVvUcnJ sZovWSrThcmjmgP14ikjqsY6axU/GmxuqJFqX2GY56KDw84xtg7wjG230NGoG3U= =mzU5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
