Yeah, that's great and all, but I believe a little short-sighted. There are still some unix scripts out there that expect (un)compress. OpenPKG for example. Also, it sorta tosses lowest-common-denominator, cross-platform scripting out the window. 8( : Use gzip or bzip2 if you want to compress files. Could we at the very least have the gzip package provide symlinks for (un)compress? That'll solve the issue by only adding two lines to a spec file, and w/out having to maintain a separate package. --Jerry Open-Source software isn't a matter of life or death... ...It's much more important than that!

[Cooker] Where's compress(1)?
Could somebody please point me in the right direction for which package contains compress(1)/uncompress(1) for 9.0/Cooker? I thought that there was a ncompress RPM, but I can't seem to find it. Thanks in advance... --Jerry Open-Source software isn't a matter of life or death... ...It's much more important than that!
