Sorry, you don't want to read my arguments. By compressing on the file system level considerably more space could be saved *and* it would be completely transparent for any program reading (or even writing) the files. What you argue for is just a complex kluge with a great breakage and annoyance potential, not a real solution. -- gtkdoc-fixxref broken by compressed documentation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/77138 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
