Issue ID: 15693
Summary: Peculiar problems with OSX archive
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: Mac OS X
Status: NEW
Severity: blocker
Priority: P1
Component: installer
Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
Reporter: bugzilla at digitalmars.com
1. At the download page, I hover over [OS X tar.xz]
2. It says I'll be downloading:
http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2.x/2.070.0/dmd.2.070.0.osx.tar.xz
3. I download it, and the file downloaded is:
dmd.2.070.0.osx.tar.tar
which is a different file name. I transfer it to OSX. I try to untar it:
~/dmd.2.070> tar -xf ../dmd.2.070.0.osx.tar.tar
tar: Error opening archive: Child process exited with status 254Child process
exited with status 254
~/dmd.2.070> tar -xf --xz ../dmd.2.070.0.osx.tar.tar
tar: Error opening archive: Failed to open '--xz'
~/dmd.2.070> tar -xf -J ../dmd.2.070.0.osx.tar.tar
tar: Error opening archive: Failed to open '-J'
~/dmd.2.070> tar -xfJ ../dmd.2.070.0.osx.tar.tar
tar: Error opening archive: Failed to open 'J'
Complete failure. The web site should say what command to use to untar it,
since the usual -xf switch does not work on it.
