> Any ideas why PORTAGE_COMPRESS_* aren't set on my box. Because you haven't set them. Therefore they take the defaults. BTW, 'emerge --info' doesn't print out every portage variable, only the "interesting" ones (e.g. ones useful for submitting bug reports). > BtW, how do I see > what PORTAGE_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE_SUFFIXES is set to. # cat /etc/make.conf /etc/make.globals /etc/make.profile/make.defaults \ |grep -m 1 ^PORTAGE_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE_SUFFIXES Also the man page for make.conf lists many common defaults.
