[Xen-devel] [PATCH v1] tools/mkrpm: switch payload to gzip to reduce turnaround time

[Olaf Hering <olaf@xxxxxxxxx>]

rpmbuild -bb spents alot of time in compressing the binaries. Reduce the
turnaround time of 'make rpmball' by using gzip as compression tool.
This reduces the buildtime from 'w9.xzdio'/138 seconds to 'w1.gzdio'/88
seconds in my environment.
The downside is an increased filesize of xen.rpm, 19MB vs. 37MB.
