I don't really know whether this is the right component for this, but here's the problem:
- Download an artifact from taskcluster, such as full crashreporter symbols;
- Uh-oh! It's a .tar.zst file! But I'm running
mozilla-buildon Windows! - Since our
machenvironment already useszstandard, it would sure be nice to be able to quickly decompress such a file from the command line.

Thanks for the report 👍
FWIW, this would also be solved by having a "real" Linux environment in which you can install the CLI tools you need.

Note we already have a script that does that: taskcluster/scripts/misc/zstdpy (with the -d flag), but it needs to be run manually with the global mach virtualenv (which using mach python wouldn't use) in ~/.mozbuild/_virtualenvs/mach

True, there is a workaround. To make it more explicit for future viewers: ~/.mozbuild/_virtualenvs/mach/bin/python <topsrcdir>/taskcluster/scripts/misc/zstdpy -d <file> should extract zst files on Windows.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox Build System::Mach Core' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Recent enough versions of tar support zstd archives with tar --zstd or tar -a, if the zstd executable is present on the system. The switch to msys2 might the right occasion to install zstd in MozillaBuild.

Works for me 👍, will ship with MozillaBuild 4.0.
