Description Zac Medico gentoo-dev

In cases when binary packages are stored within a compressed medium, such as btrfs filesystem or a docker volume, it might make sense to use BINPKG_COMPRESS to disable compression.

Maybe call it BINPKG_COMPRESS="cat".

Comment 2 Zac Medico gentoo-dev

We could use and empty BINPKG_COMPRESS setting to indicate absence of compression, for consistency with PORTAGE_COMPRESS behavior.

    BINPKG_COMPRESS: allow empty setting to disable compression (bug 654456)
    
    In some cases it might make sense to disable compression, so
    allow an empty setting to disable compression (consistent with
    PORTAGE_COMPRESS).
