Bug#66947: Why xdvi cannot handle .gz/.bz2 dvi files ?

[GOTO Masanori <gotom@debian.or.jp>]

Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.6-7
Severity: wishlist

Why does current /usr/X11R6/bin/xdvi comment out below lines?
The former version of tetex-bin can handle .gz/.bz2 dvi files,
but current version cannot. Please fix to eliminate these
comment out suffix '#'.


#filename=${1+"$@"}
#compress=0
#tempfile=`tempfile -p tetex -s .dvi`
#case "${filename}X" in
#  *.gzX)
#    gzip -d -c $filename > $tempfile
#    compress=1
#    ;;
#  *.bz2X)
#    bzip2 -d -c $filename > $tempfile
#    compress=1
#    ;;
#esac
#if test $compress = 1; then
#    trap "rm -f $tempfile" 0 1 2 15
#    filename=$tempfile
#fi
#
#xdvi.bin $NAMEOPT $filename || exit 1
#exit 0
