When emerging graphviz, [ebuild R ] media-gfx/graphviz-2.2.1 -debug +tcltk 0 kB the ebuild installs some pdf-files under /usr/share/doc in gzipped-format. /usr/share/doc/graphviz-2.2.1/dotguide.pdf.gz /usr/share/doc/graphviz-2.2.1/dottyguide.pdf.gz /usr/share/doc/graphviz-2.2.1/leftyguide.pdf.gz /usr/share/doc/graphviz-2.2.1/neatoguide.pdf.gz These files cannot be opened directly, but need to be unzipped before acroread or kpdf will open them. This is annoying and will prevent inexperienced users from looking at the doc that is installed. In my opinion we should install "binary" documentation without zipping it. Or is there an easy way to open gzipped-pdf with acroread? Maybe this should be handled at eclass/portage-level, because the ebuild uses "dodoc *.pdf" to install these files and I don't see much use in zipping these files except a bit of disk-space: # ls -al /tmp/*.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 245445 26. Jun 10:34 /tmp/dotguide.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 323578 26. Jun 10:34 /tmp/dottyguide.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 316781 26. Jun 10:34 /tmp/leftyguide.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 113744 26. Jun 10:34 /tmp/neatoguide.pdf # ls -al *.pdf.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 182999 25. Mai 08:37 dotguide.pdf.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 211552 25. Mai 08:37 dottyguide.pdf.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 208095 25. Mai 08:37 leftyguide.pdf.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 89955 25. Mai 08:37 neatoguide.pdf.gz
Fixed in portage, thanks for info.
