In install.sh, replace the line:

cp -f $DIR/dkms.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8

with:

gzip -c -9 dkms.8 > $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/share/man/man8/dkms.8.gz


So few people use the tarball but use the RPM (which gets this right)
I missed that when I changed it a while back.  Thanks for catching it!

Thanks,
Matt
