The .tar.gz files on release page are actually plain .tar, not .tar.gz #306

As per title, the file names are incorrect.

For example this: https://github.com/Microsoft/vso-agent/releases/download/0.6.5/xplat0.6.5Linux64.tar.gz

When running tar -zxvf xplat0.6.5Linux64.tar.gz it complains with

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Treating this as plain .tar works.

Also looking at the sizes, here is the original and here is the one compressed:

30M May 13 19:42 xplat0.6.5Linux64.realtar.gz
67M Apr 21 01:33 xplat0.6.5Linux64.tar.gz

Not sure if anyone can fix this or if it's actually important :)

Of course it's important :)

That said, you should look to the replacement for this agent. It's about to deprecated and the replacement is farther along: https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-agent

This is fixed in the agent replacing this one: https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-agent
