Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2017-05-28 09:18:34 UTC 
The package uses doman/newman on a compressed file which is invalid per PMS:

   doman man/en/*.gz
   doman -i18n=de man/de/*.gz
Comment 1 Michael Brakemeier 2017-07-02 16:09:00 UTC 
Citing from https://devmanual.gentoo.org/eclass-reference/ebuild/index.html:
"doman [-i18n=<locale>] <man-page> [list of more man-pages]
Installs manual-pages into /usr/share/man/man[0-9n] depending on the manual file ending. The files are compressed if they are not already."

Where does the PMS or the guide state that using doman on compressed files is invalid? doman actually handles compressed files transparently. Could you please explain?

That seems to be a manpage from Portage, and not any kind of official Gentoo guide.
