.gz files are not extracted correctly

[randy3k]

To help us debug your issue please explain:

• What you were trying to do (and why)

install rstudio-server formula

• What happened (include command output)

The .gz resource file is not extracted correctly

see https://circleci.com/gh/randy3k/homebrew-r/418

The formula used to work, so the error is caused by a recent commit.

• What you expected to happen

formula installed correctly

• Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew commands)

just tap randy3k/homebrew-r and run brew install rstudio-server

It works on macOS so there must have been a fix applied upstream. This will be addressed once 1.7.2 from upstream is merged and tagged.

[randy3k]

It has platform dependent resource files. The macos resource is .zip though.

[jonchang]

I tested a reduced formula using the .gz file.

[randy3k]

Great.

We've recently merged Homebrew/brew into Linuxbrew/brew master. Can you test whether this works now?

[iMichka]

There is still an issue open regarding an equivalent problem for weird tgz files upstream: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/4648 Just that you know that not everything may be working out of the box.

Linuxbrew 1.7.3 includes this fix.
