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.
