I suggest that we be careful and conservative here. First, there are some .el files that don't have a corresponding .elc file; I think such .el file should not be compressed, since then Emacs will not work without gzip being available. Second, I think this compression should not be done on non-Posix systems where gzip is not available. And third, I think that we should not compress as part of tarring the distribution. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
