Hey all, long time user, first time poster.
I’ve got a bit of a problem with the download of SDL2_image, from the location:
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/release/SDL2_image-2.0.1.tar.gz
Was working fine, using a wget and then I have a script with “tar -xvzf” to extract the archive, no problems at all, until last Friday. When I ran this script again.
Now, the file is downloaded but one receives the message that the archive is not a valid “gz” format file. Clearly the z parameter is causing the problem, but the archive is “gz” its own filename intimates it’s a gzip format.
Checking manually, it’s not, the archive is now only a TAR.… tar -xvf… works fine to extract it, it simply appears that file is no longer a zip any longer.
Now this caused me consternation as my script failed, but now the SDL2_image library download is ~28mb, burning your website bandwidth.
If we could get the file back as an archive, my script would be happy, and your bandwidth use would be lowered - at least for that file
