What happened?

Trying to use the z option fails with tar for this file with the extension .tar.gz. Using file lets me see that it's actually using zstandard compression. Change the file name from .tar.gz to .tar.zst fixes the issue

Reproducible?

  • I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox.

Version

Hi, @K1ngfish3r. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the desktop team manage their backlog. I'm marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary

  • The file zen.source.tar.gz is misnamed, as it uses zstandard compression instead of gzip.
  • This mislabeling causes extraction errors with the tar command when using the z option.
  • Suggested solution: rename the file to zen.source.tar.zst to match its compression format.
  • No additional comments or activity have been made on this issue.

Next Steps

  • Please confirm if this issue is still relevant to the latest version of the desktop repository by commenting here.
  • If there is no further activity, this issue will be automatically closed in 7 days.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!
