Linux release package is actually a zip file #163

While updating this package's Homebrew formula, it was noticed that the latest Linux release file, although it claims to be a gzipped tarball as implied by the .tgz extension, it's actually a zip file. Ideally it'd have the extension .zip.

$ file pachi-12.84-linux-static.tgz 
pachi-12.84-linux-static.tgz: Zip archive data, at least v1.0 to extract

Hi, Thanks for pointing this, should be fixed now.

By the way Pachi really shouldn't be in homebrew anymore, it's been marked for removal a while ago (PR123301). I'm surprised the Pachi homebrew formula is still there, there's no way to get a decent build under homebrew since caffe has been deprecated. Do you know why it's still there ?

Probably because it'd need a pull request submitted to deprecate it. See the docs regarding formula deprecation for guidance and other examples in the repository.

I don't work for homebrew, it's not my job to do this. You know the procedure, please take appropriate action to deprecate this formula, I'll back it up if necessary.
