Package file compression

In Release 4.2, the pkgmk(C) command has been enhanced to optionally compress package files. If the -c option is specified, pkgmk(C) will compress all non-information files. The following exceptions apply:

• If, as a result of compression, the size of the file is not reduced, pkgmk(C) will not compress the file.

• If the pathname for the file in the package's prototype(F) file is a relative pathname, (for example, ../mypkg/foo), the file will not be compressed.
