The previous commit spotted that "Tarball successfully created ..." is displayed even if the "tar" command returns error code because it is followed by "| ${compress}". Let the build fail instead of printing the successful message since if the "tar" command fails, the output may not be what users expect. Avoid the use of the pipe. While we are here, refactor the script removing the use of sub-shell, ${compress}, ${file_ext}.
