Hi all,

I am looking for an option to compress the RPM package when building
with rpmbuild (4.7.2). I found notes that bz2 is supported but there is
no commandline option for compression in rpmbuild? My internet searches
also did not result in a solution.

Is it possible at all to set another compression method when building
the RPM? My RPM packages are about 30% bigger than the Debian ones.

Thanks in advance for your help.
