Does an Artifact download always need to be a tarball/zipped file?

I was hoping to bind an unzipped file as a download-artifact. However, the download_artifact function always seems to attempt to unpack/unzip the downloaded file.

How are other people handling/binding plain unzipped files?

AFAIU, currently, yes.

It would be nice to have the ability to use unzipped files as artifacts. @CiaranOMara can you open a pull request on the Pkg.jl repository?

I’ll have a look and see whether I can come up with a pattern - no promises.

In the middle time I’ve made ArtifactHelpers.jl available, which demonstrate how I’ve been using artifacts.
