Hi,
during the review process of gtrayicon
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=524605) the question was
raised whether or not the .gz suffix of compressed manual pages should
be omitted in a spec file.
Since rpm automatically compresses man pages in a transparent process, I
prefer to avoid appending the explicit suffix and use asterisks instead.
On the other hand, adding .gz doesn't hurt as long as the compression
method stays unchanged.
So my question is: Is it up to the packager to either use
%{_mandir}/man1/foo.1.gz or %{_mandir}/man1/foo.1*? I couldn't find any
recommendation on this in the Fedora guidelines.
Regards,
Martin
