Description Arnaud Vallette d'Osia 2012-12-01 13:35:13 UTC

Hi there

Here are 4 of the 6 files installed by this ebuild. (next to 2 binaries)

/usr/share/doc/piedock-1.6.1/piedockrc.sample.bz2
/usr/share/doc/piedock-1.6.1/NEWS.bz2
/usr/share/doc/piedock-1.6.1/ChangeLog.bz2
/usr/share/doc/piedock-1.6.1/AUTHORS.bz2

2 reactions for my part :
 - I am frustated for I will not be able to simply simplink
   piedockrc.sample.bz2 so as to compare it with my one at updates...
 - I see no reason -if texts shall remain compressed at all-
   to give each text a separate bz2 ?   

I do not know how reliable could be the unzipping of those files
at emerge time, but sure I'd consider this an improvement.

Thanks for maintaining that awesome soft, and greetings

Arnaudv6

Set PORTAGE_COMPRESS=true in make.conf so that documentation isn't compressed. Or put that in a file /etc/portage/env/x11-misc/piedock if you want that to be done only for piedock.
