The bootstrap script in coreutils hardwires -z3 in the cvs call:
cvs -z3 -q -d ${CVS_PREFIX}cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gnulib co gnulib ||
Could you leave that up to the installer? On one of my servers, due to
firewalls (I guess), compressed cvs traffic does not work reliably. I
doubt I'm the only one stuck with that problem.
(Yes, it's obviously trivial to modify the script, but ...)
Thanks,
