Subject: searching elisp on debian/ubuntu
Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2013 20:11:59 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]

[This is more about debian ubuntu than emacs]
When looking for something in elisp on debian/ubuntu there is the nuisance that the files are gzipped. So Ive to do things like
find /usr/share/emacs/23.4/lisp *.gz|xargs zgrep <something>
because zgrep unlike grep has no recursive flag
I believe that there is some dpkg/apt flag that says keep the files unzipped.
Anyone know of it?
