 # In terms of configuration option, this macro assumes that the
 # BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_$(FSTYPE) config option allows to enable/disable
 # the generation of a filesystem image of a particular type. If

+# the configuration options BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_$(FSTYPE)_GZIP,
 # BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_$(FSTYPE)_BZIP2 or
 # BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_$(FSTYPE)_LZMA exist and are enabled, then the
