Although I'd also like to mention that I expect that it would take rather longer for mandb to process /usr/share/man if all of the manual pages there were xz-compressed rather than gzipped, as it would have to exec an external command for every page rather than using a library. I support xz-compressed pages because you sent me a reasonable patch and it might occasionally help somebody, but I don't recommend it for global use in Debian. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
