1 | Hiya Jan, |

3 | The following snippet from Ingo is correct: |

5 | > So, you want to hear something constructive? Your best option is to |

9 | We are both famous for our excessive configurability and there is even |
10 | an option already! 5:) If you look in the manpage (once you've |
11 | decompress it somewhere, or online at [1]) for make.conf, you'll see the |
12 | entry for PORTAGE_COMPRESS, which you can set as follows: |
13 | |
14 | PORTAGE_COMPRESS="" |
15 | |
16 | As mentioned in [2,3,others]. You'll then need to reinstall all |
17 | packages. If you manually decompress the files, then the uncompressed |
18 | manpages won't be registered with portage and won't get removed if the |
19 | owning package is uninstalled. Hope that helps... |
