Dear Joomla Team,

I encountered an issue with the gzipped tarball for Joomla version 5.1.4, which can be downloaded from the following URL: https://downloads.joomla.org/cms/joomla5/5-1-4/Joomla_5-1-4-Stable-Full_Package.tar.gz?format=gz

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Download the file using the provided link.
  2. Run the command gunzip Joomla_5.1.4-Stable-Full_Package.tar.gz
  3. Use the file command on the resulting .tar file. file Joomla_5.1.4-Stable-Full_Package.tar

Expected result: The .tar file should be a valid, uncompressed tar archive.

previous version 5.1.3:

Joomla_5.1.3-Stable-Full_Package.tar: POSIX tar archive (GNU)

Actual result: The file command shows the following output:

Joomla_5.1.4-Stable-Full_Package.tar: gzip compressed data, from Unix, original size modulo 2^32 89282560

It seems that the .tar file has also been compressed again

Could you please look into this?

Best regards,
Henrik

A tar file is uncompressed archive of files and a tar.gz is the compressd version. If you want to extract it then you can do it in one step with

tar -xzf Joomla_5.1.4-Stable-Full_Package.tar.gz

or you do it in two steps

gzip -d Joomla_5.1.4-Stable-Full_Package.tar.gz
tar -xf Joomla_5.1.4-Stable-Full_Package.tar

Not an error andthing is fine

yes but in this case the tar file inside is not uncompressed its compressed
