[gentoo-dev] Links to compressed files (was: gentoo-x86 commit in app-misc/mmv: ChangeLog mmv-1.01b_p15.ebuild)
src_install() {
doman mmv.1 || die
dosym mmv.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/mcp.1.gz || die
dosym mmv.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/mln.1.gz || die
dosym mmv.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/mad.1.gz || die
How does this work with various package managers?
Portage works fine with different PORTAGE_COMPRESS settings.
I guess paludis creates uncompressed man-pages and has three broken links?
And pkgcore?
Is there a reliable/predictable way to create such links?

Don't use a symlink, but create a short file with a groff .so request. See for example the egrep.1 man page, that just contains the one line: .so man1/grep.1 Ulrich
