      Description

      it is sometimes usefull to create a zip (or tar.gz) of some files ina workspace to archive as a single unit.

      However to do this you need to rely n platform tools to create the file.
      Whilst on Unix/Linux this is not too hard on windows it is a PITA requiring either extra tools or powershell scripting - neither of which is portable.

      It would be nice if Jenkins/javas ability to create tar.gz/zip was exposed as a native step.

            The priority is already pretty low. I am working on an implementation of JENKINS-26942 in which the storage format (tar.gz) is an implementation detail, which keeps the flow syntax attractively simple, and I think covers most use cases. If we later want to add some steps to create ZIPs or the like within a workspace, we can do that, either in workflow-plugin or in any contributed plugin.

            A good candidate for pipeline-utility-steps, if not already there.

            hi, currently pipeline-utility-steps only offer unzip... any plan to support unpacking of tar and tar.gz files?
