This would allow us to not need to manually run: insinto /usr/share/doc/${PF}/tutorial doins docs/tutorial/html/* in gmime ebuilds (and similar). Also, in general, html files inside docs are nor oriented to be compressed, maybe they shouldn't be compressed by default. Reproducible: Always
The defaults for docompress (since EAPI 4) are specified by PMS (bug #260118). You can use, for example, `docompress -x /usr/share/doc/${PF}/tutorial` to disable compression for a particular directory. There's also a PORTAGE_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE_SUFFIXES variable that controls defaults. See `man make.conf`. It's supposed to disable html compression by default. You can use this command to check the current setting: portageq envvar PORTAGE_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE_SUFFIXES
