Sunsetting .gz Tarball Generation

We stopped creating .bz2 copies of tarball releases 5 years ago, and the time has come to stop producing .gz duplicate copies of all our content as well, as XZ tools and libraries are now available on all major platforms. Starting September 1st, 2018, all tarball releases available via /pub download locations will only be available in XZ-compressed format.

If you absolutely must have .gz compressed tarballs, you may obtain them from git.kernel.org by following snapshot download links in the appropriate repository view.
