Support for info and friends is supported in current trunk. It is configurable |
11 |
by the var PORTAGE_COMPRESS and PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS. Mike Frysinger is the |
12 |
author so it's his call, but it could probably be put into 2.0.54. |

Even though there's a lot of mess, try not to clean any of it up if you're |
20 |
posting a patch for something else. That is, clean ups should be separate to |
21 |
functionality additions/modifications. Other than that, try not to make more |
22 |
mess. ;) |
