pod is somewhat unpredictable where newlines are inserted. I do not know how to properly fix that on a pod manpage..

I recently went through the ~20 pages and debated splitting it then. Since there has been new activity, I went ahead and split it (~20 pages is a soft maximum, so it was going to happen eventually). I've also added comments to the old thread referencing this one.

mv, you are welcome to change the thread title to something else if you prefer. I mainly tried to reflect the generic capability differentiating it from previous portage only/primarily solutions.

Just wondering:

Has anyone compared this solution with btrfs-zstd compression in terms of space savings and speed? The KISS principle speaks in favour of the latter if you anway use btrfs. So what are the trade-offs?
