SubjectRe: [RFC PATCH] kbuild: add variables for compression tools
Date
It seems that I missed a couple of tar commands in the patch:
scripts/Makefile.package
scripts/package/buildtar

Other implementations can depend on this.
pigz still parses GZIP env var:

[3] GZIP at frontend, KGZIP or _GZIP internally? Something like:

$ cat Makefile
GZIP=gzip
override KGZIP=$(GZIP) # optional overrdide. Used to force GZIP value
# in case: make KGZIP=test

unexport GZIP
export KGZIP

default:
@env | grep GZIP

$ make GZIP=test
KGZIP=test

Thanks,
Denis
