Description benedict 1999-08-15 03:10:01 UTC 
Compression is turned on in the SUPFLAGS variable in /etc/make.conf.
However, the sample supfiles contain the following:

# If your network link is a T1 or faster, comment out the following line.
*default compress

It seems to me that it is wrong to comment out that line but have
compression turned on again in make.conf.

Perhaps the supfiles themselves should be changed; this does make more
sense as a system global setting than a per-supfile setting.

Fix: 

Change either /etc/make.conf or the supfiles themselves to omit
compression.  If the latter option is chosen, perhaps an appropriate
comment can be added to make.conf.

That flag was already removed by sheldonh in Rev 1.83 in -current
