So here is a better patchI don't see why either patch is needed. Without the patches, for example, "./configure --program-transform-name='s/^z/gz/'" followed by "make install" installs gzcat.1, not zcat.1. Isn't that what you want?
Ooops! I have just tried and you are right, thanks. For some reason the fact that gzip can already rename man pages escaped me.
I think this solves the incompatibility between gzip's scripts and zutils. :-)
Thanks and regards, Antonio.
