That's a newer portage make.conf variable; see the manpage. Apparently |
9 |
newer versions default to bz2, while older versions (before the setting |
10 |
was exposed as a variable) may have defaulted to gz. However, the user |
11 |
can now set any sort of exotic compression type he likes. (zip, rar, |
12 |
7zip, zoo, anyone?) |
