As a user, if I would like to create a.gz file on the satellite server instead of.zst, what needs to be done and how to do that properly without hampering the satellite setup by replacing the 'creatrepo_c' package that was installed from 'satellite-6.xx-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms' to 'rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms'?
