[GRASS-dev] NULL file compression by default

[Markus Neteler]

Hi,

according to the current documentation, the NULL files are still
uncompressed [1].
Is there an important reason to not switch it on by default? The code is here:

https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/lib/raster/init.c#L124

I just don't want to waste terabytes because the GRASS_COMPRESS_NULLS
env var isn't set...

thanks
Markus
