>Description:

Compression is turned on in the SUPFLAGS variable in /etc/make.conf.
However, the sample supfiles contain the following:

# If your network link is a T1 or faster, comment out the following line.
*default compress

It seems to me that it is wrong to comment out that line but have
compression turned on again in make.conf.

Perhaps the supfiles themselves should be changed; this does make more
sense as a system global setting than a per-supfile setting.

>How-To-Repeat:

	

>Fix:
	
Change either /etc/make.conf or the supfiles themselves to omit
compression.  If the latter option is chosen, perhaps an appropriate
comment can be added to make.conf.
