Title:
don't gzip gtkdoc's devhelp2 files
Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I am the upstream gtkdoc developer and maintainer and work on
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742404 that will be part of
the next gtk-doc release. With some luck I noticed that Ubuntu applies
gzip compression to some of gtkdoc's data files.
Please don't do this. While I can probably use popen for this case, I
cannot handle this for all possible cases (e.g. some distro using
bzip2 instead). These files are only installed on developer machines
and I don't think the space saving are worth it. I'd believe most
developers rather get better performance.
