No, they are .tar.gz ; but most browsers will uncompress .tar.gz files on the
fly and thus you'll see the already extracted .tar file.

If you download it properly (with wget, say) you get a file with md5sum
a655f761ddb45a0e544faf4889c2ec5c which is a compressed gzip file as expected.
A compressed .tar.gz reduced the download size considerably for the users
who'd like to try out the nightly build.
It wouldn't anyway. The tar, in turn, contains already compressed data (.deb
and .rpm are compressed). So gzipping is just to obey conventions - but we do
it anyway.
Thanks Andrea for the reply.
The nightly build i downloaded is
https://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/install/linux64/Apache_OpenOffice_4.2.0_Linux_x86-64_install-arc_en-US_2016-08-09_04:31:06_1755554.tar.gz
There are *no* .deb or .rpm files in the archive.
i have renamed the nightly build tar file that i downloaded
to aoo20160809043106.tar
The resultant compressed file is half the size of the original
file.
Please see below.
$ ls
aoo20160809043106.tar
$ file aoo20160809043106.tar
aoo20160809043106.tar: POSIX tar archive (GNU)
$ ls -ltr aoo20160809043106.tar

$ gzip aoo20160809043106.tar
$ ls -l
total 159948

The last nightly build available for download is annotated is 2016-08-09.
However, today's build should be annotated as 2016-08-20.
Is the page at https://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/index.html
auto-generated along with the nightly build ?
It is. But it is updated only when a build is successful, and the build is
currently broken. See
https://ci.apache.org/builders/openoffice-linux64-nightly/
We've updated some dependencies and we need software updates on the build
machines. Builds will be "green" again once those systems receive the needed
updates (hopefully in a few days).

Andrea.
Thanks for the assistance.
warm regards
Saifi.
