--- Comment #1 from Baptiste Daroussin <bapt@FreeBSD.org> ---
mandoc can only work with .gz compressed manpages as it uses direcly zlib to
read them.
While man itself can still work with other compression format due to the fa=
ct
we do still use the shell wrapper on top of mandoc, other tools cannot, so
supporting anything else than .gz in ports as no sense.
