Portage writes a compressed copy of 'Packages' index file.
This behaviour is enabled by FEATURES="compress-index". The
resulting file is 'Packages.gz' and its modification time will
match that of 'Packages'.
Web-servers use that copy to avoid repeated on-the-fly compression.
In order to re-use 'atomic_ofstream' usage of 'codecs.zlib_codec'
has been considered and discarded, because 'GzipFile' yields
smaller files. (According to Mark's tests 62% smaller.)
Example usage, Nginx:
location =/Packages {
gzip_static on;
default_type text/plain;
}
Apache httpd (use with caution):
RewriteRule ^(.*)/Packages$ $1/Packages.gz [T=text/plain,E=GZIP:gzip,L]
<FilesMatch "Packages\.gz$">
Header set Content-Encoding gzip
</FilesMatch>
