As long as this concerns manpages (where the code handles transparently both |
| 9 |
formats) this is fine. |

However, I'm not so happy with a "semi-random" compres/dont compress decision |
| 12 |
for other files. Maybe some program expects a certain filename to display a |
| 13 |
README? If there is a clear-cut decision, then the code can be adapted, but if |
| 14 |
the portage behaviour changes as soon as the file grows over a size limit, |
| 15 |
this is difficult... |

Not so important though, since this seems to be a more academic problem. |
