@ -42,6 +42,14 @@ By default, LFS/BLFS does not compress man or info pages. By default, RPM uses
gzip compression on man and info pages. Thus when RPM bootstrapping an LFS
system, you will likely end up with two copies of each man and info page.
One solution is to gzip all man and info pages *before* the RPM bootstrap. That
way the files on the file system will have the same file name as the file names
in the RPM files. Similarly, you can configure your RPM build environment to NOT
gzip the man and info pages. Then once the bootstrap is complete, revert it to
gzip in future package builds. However, I just use a shell script to find and
delete the duplicates. Since RPM compresses them and the script only deletes the
uncompressed duplicates, it does not remove files under RPM management.
The shell script [`remove_duplicates.sh`](remove_duplicates.sh) can be used to
remove the duplicates. Run it once a day or so during the RPM bootstrap process,
definitely after installing RPM packaged Perl for the first time.
