level

Hi,

I have a Ruby program that zips a directory tree of XML files using the rubyzip gem. My problem is that the file is starting to be heavy and I would like to increase the compression level, since compression time is not an issue.

I could not find in the rubyzip documentation a way to specify the compression level for the created ZIP file.

Anyone know how to change this setting?
