Unzip/gzip #311

Closed mmterpstra closed 1 year ago

mmterpstra commented 1 year ago

Around here there are unzip/zip flags used. These might be redundant: https://github.com/biowdl/tasks/blob/c92755e510723da731ba92637c41e58c8490b5fc/common.wdl#L71

Because you can cat gzip/bzip2 files and it treats it as a single file (not mixed types though): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8005114/fast-concatenation-of-multiple-gzip-files

Especially the unzip flag the zip flag might be used.
