The "<tt>openpkg*.src.sh</tt>" source bootstrap should run on as

- For building the "<tt>openpkg-*.src.sh</tt>" file, compress(1) is
- still required. But this build step is a developer only step where
- the extra installation of compress(1) is accepted.
+ Further research proved that due to fact that only half a megabyte
+ of sources are unpacked and the remaining sources already come in
+ "gzip" format the use of "compress" format for the whole thing
+ actually enlarged the "<tt>openpkg-*.src.sh</tt>" file. For this
+ reason we dropped compression for source bootstrap entirely
+ beginning with CURRENT 20030114 and OpenPKG v1.2 and now keep the
+ data verbatim.
