This is to be updated once we change our archives to use zstd compression and the file extensions change in our archives.

Looks good! Tentative approval pending external comms.

We need to add additional detail to notify existing users of this change, @ryanwaits can you review and tweak this blurb?

⚠️ Archive Format Update: .tar.gz → .tar.zst

We are transitioning all Hiro archive downloads from gzip (.tar.gz) to the more efficient Zstandard (.tar.zst) format.
Going forward, newly published archives will use the .zst extension. Older backups will continue to be available in .tar.gz.

What this means for you:

Update any scripts or automation to download *.tar.zst instead of *.tar.gz.

Extracting .zst archives requires zstd support (ex: tar -I zstd -xvf archive.tar.zst).

.tar.gz examples are still provided below for backward compatibility.

@bgridley The older archives will still be in the .tar.gz format correct?
