Describe the request
Please support .tar.gz file extension for apps. Splunk packaging toolkit creates .tar.gz files and does not support changing the file extension. Therefore apps created by the packaging toolkit can not be deployed via AppFramework.

The slim packaging tool outputs the package in tar.gz form. This needs to be changed to (moved) to .tgz everytime before uploading into S3. Appreciate if .tar.gz is also accomodated.

That's exactly what I'm currently doing. But in my opinion the toolchain should use compatible file extensions without needing to rename files. Why not support .tar.gz?

Hello @mag-mkorn 👋
How are you?

That's a really good enhancement idea. We will consider it when planning the scope of work for the next 2.8.0 SOK release.
