Add-on package name and hash mismatch on Splunkbase

[jamesdsteel]

Downloading the Splunk Add-on for Unix and Linux presents a SHA256 string:

sha256 -c dd3bbc95b6b93466b285fc3fe10e79c87af1ccfb371a111a6cd838d580ba81f7 'splunk-add-on-for-unix-and-linux_1020.tgz'

However, the downloaded package is named 'Splunk_TA_nix-10.2.0.tar' and the hash doesn't match (I get SHA256 = 8b2f38be51add4a69f855648c14634695eb1edf0c044e7032a2d2d249c23e98e).

Does anyone else get the same behaviour?

I also checked the previous version (10.1.0) and get the same issue.

@jamesdsteel Verified the hash for v10.2.0 for the add-on matches with the downloaded file and no issues observed from my end. The file is being downloaded as .tgz and not .tar file.

Hi @jamesdsteel 

For me its downloading the tgz with the correct checksum:

Could it be that your browser is un-gzip-ing the tgz to .tar upon download?

Thanks @livehybrid - I was using Safari to download and it was extracting the package. Chrome works as intended and hashes match.
