Hi all

While trying to lookup XCB API documentation (
/usr/share/doc/libxcb/manual/ ), I noticed that it is compressed, now
I'm wondering is there anyway to install that documentation in the
decompressed form, hmm...?

Thanks
Ashish Shukla

I tink there is the PORTAGE_COMPRESS variable.

Set PORTAGE_COMPRESS="" in make.conf and portage will not compress
documentation.

There is also PORTAGE_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE_SUFFIXES which you can extend
to your needs. Currently it defaults to
PORTAGE_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE_SUFFIXES="css gif htm[l]? jp[e]?g js pdf png"

Any ideas why PORTAGE_COMPRESS_* aren't set on my box. BtW, how do I see
what PORTAGE_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE_SUFFIXES is set to.

Thanks in advance,

One thing they don't tell you about doing experimental physics is that
sometimes you must work under adverse conditions... like a state of
sheer terror.

I know how to view and decompress compressed-files, but I don't want to
decompress file and but then after decompressing, I'll lose the ability
to track the file from portage's database.

Yes, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE_SUFFIXES is set to that default. Thanks
for mentioning this. Anyways, re-emerging libxcb fixes the issue for
me. Maybe it is some bug in old portage version (which I used when I
emerged libxcb), as I recently upgraded to 2.2_rc12 to have KDE 4.1.2.

Thanks

and grep?You don't need bzgrep or what ever....just bzcat /ab/def/sd/blah.bz2 | grep yay

Or if you want to use the cases above, a "| grep yay" should be more than enough...plus you get the colors in the results.


It does get a little annoying when you want to use grep for all files in the directory, but nothing a little for loop cannot fix:

for i in /path/to/dir/*; do echo $i; bzcat $i | grep yay; done

I still don't understand - if you know how to view a compressed file
"without" decompressing it, then what do you want to decompress it for?
