I agree it would be nice to drop the zip files. Btw. the problem with the zip file is not the file itself, it works fine, it seems instead that the standard `unzip` tool is broken for some reason. Using `7z x` for extracting just works.
One problem with the tar files is, though, that the current pipeline misses to include symlinks. I quickly looked into it and it seems with the current pipeline that's even hard to achieve.
