>
> That Daffodil release process uses a Fedora 31 rpm, which configures rpmbuild
> to use zstd compression by default, rather than the usual xz compression.
> Unfortunately, older versions of rpm, like those that are installed for RHEL7
> do not appear to support zstd compression. So you cannot install our rpms old
> older OSs. We should configure our build system to always use xz compression
> to support older systems.
