It seems that amhello-1.0.tar.gz is already present in the tarball from |
19 |
the distfiles directory, so it is not Portage responsible for |
20 |
compressing in gz format. But it would be a good thing if Portage could |
21 |
recompress that file in xz format instead. I don't know if this is |
22 |
possible. So I won't file a bug report for this, as I think it could be |
23 |
closed as invalid. |

groff-1.21-r1 installs postscript files (which are not compressible) and |
26 |
related files. So I don't think it's a good idea to file a report for |
27 |
this, too. |

So the only bug I decided to report is for libasyncns-0.8-r2: |
