Description Nick White 2011-01-26 00:08:27 UTC
Mutt installs a number of sample config files in /usr/share/doc/mutt-*/samples

Some of these are designed to be easy to source directly from your config file. For example gpg.rc, which is likely to not need to be altered by people who need it.

However, as they're compressed by gentoo, I can't source them directly. It would be really useful if they were kept uncompressed, to obviate the need to copy zcat'ed versions around and source them.

we have to wait until EAPI=4 is in a stable portage, then we can exclude this from compression using

docompress -x /usr/share/doc/${PF}/samples
Comment 2 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2011-01-30 19:20:37 UTC
Actually, some legacy compressed everything manually in usr/share in the mutt ebuild.  It seems ecompress doesn't recurse into directories, hence, the samples directory remains uncompressed, without EAPI=4.

Thanks for the suggestion!
