How do I from the command line convert a standard uncompressed pcap file to a compressed pcapng file? None of the manual entries I can find explain how to do the same pcapng compression offered in the save dialogues in the GUI version of Wireshark.

At least on a system with a gzip command, you can do it with

editcap -F pcapng {pcap file} - | gzip >{gzipped pcapng file}
