pget cannot extract tar file generated on MacOS

[simonpicard]

Hi team, many thanks for your great work.

I am using pget on replicate, deployed via cog.
When downloading a tar file via pget, I get the following error:

Error: error writing file: error extracting file: archive/tar: invalid tar header

The tar file I am attempting to extract has been created on MacOS via the following command:

tar -czvf my-folder.tar my-folder

The archive is then uploaded to AWS S3 and downloaded from there via pget.
The archive can be extracted without error on MacOS using the built-in extractor.

Could you please help me solve the issue?

Pget is currently unable to handle gzipped tar files. Sincr you are passing z to tar I am assuming it's a gzipped tar file.

See #1. It is on the list for enhancement requests. But it hasn't been a huge priority as weights tend to not compress well. For now an uncompressed tar is recommended with pget. We will continue to evaluate when we tackle enhancements like adding gzip support.

This will be addressed by #183
