Checked on my system, same behaviour, looking inside the gzip file you see why.
I used
shed but strings is easier:
$ strings eix-installed-after_1.gz
eix-installed-after_1
...
$ strings eix-installed-after_2.gz
eix-installed-after_2

gzip stores the filename in the compressed file so the files differ.
No, it doesn't, on my system. Did you really check the files:
https://lists.gt.net/engine?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=51651;list=gentoo
https://lists.gt.net/engine?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=51652;list=gentoo
(these should download as eix-installed-after_1.gz former and
eix-installed-after_2.gz the latter)?
And they have these SHA256:
fff6f3f0f07c863fee6962379f063f742578569fd13fcee3df9161b4a6d99aa7
eix-installed-after_1.tar.gz
b88cd07885fbdc2235c9c64be7d02aa9ace7661cc2fce07909355e369366b408
eix-installed-after_2.tar.gz
If you did check those files, and there are the strings you say, at what
byte, the start, and the end... Really don't know how you got that...
I did not use your files, I re-generated them on my system based on the
/usr/bin/eix-installed-after installed on my system, as you suggested. The command I used
was plain gzip, not tar, since the difference in the files appears to come from the gzip
execution.
I just checked your files:
$ cmp -bl gzip_buggy.txt_1.tar.gz gzip_buggy.txt_2.tar.gz
5 7 ^G 12 ^J
They differ in byte 5 which, according to the link I posted, is inside the MTIME field.
Looks to me that this gzip issue is a non-issue.
Regarding the other issues, maybe someone else will have the time to go through the
complete email, even the abridged one you re-sent is too much for me. Or maybe if you
could concentrate on one issue at a time only...
