Re: Deleting uncompressed Info/Doc files at upgrades

[Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@datasync.com>]

Hi,

	If all you want is to make sure that the files you
 uncompressed are re-uncompressed after an upgrade, or are removed
 after they are gone, a simple shell script can do this. You can then
 run it out of cron, or manually after an upgrade. Simple. 

	Even with bells and whistles and all the script is likely to
 be less than 100 lines. No need to mangle dpkg, and impose local
 anomalies (deleting a compressed file, and creating an uncompressed
 file with the contents f the former) and handling thereof on the rest
 of us.
