Well, at least for $INFOPATH it doesn't seems to: /usr/share/info/emacs-23.0.0 
is in $INFOPATH but does not get dir regenerated, that's probably what Opfer 
was referring to...

Whenever the timestamp changes on one of those directories, the dir
file should be regenerated just before emerge exits.  You'll get a
message like this:

* Regenerating GNU info directory index...

Previously, a file named dir.bz2 would have remained untouched when
the dir file was generated, but in portage-2.1.2-r6 the dir.bz2 will
be renamed to dir.bz2.old (that's what it has always done with the
dir.gz files).

2007-01-31 Thread Christian Faulhammer 
Mike Frysinger [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 the new version of portage has customizable compression ... this is
 cool as now people can do bzip/gzip/whatever

 Auto compressing is nice, but I have a question for info files.  The
/usr/share/info/package/dir file must not be compressed but is with
newer versions.  As I read in a bug [1], packages should not install
dir files, so what is the best solution here?  Does Portage create the
dir file?  Should I remove it from the sandbox image?

it should be removing the dir files in install_qa_check() 
from /usr/share/info/

 What about .zip?

Not apart of the base-system.
