I have no idea why File Roller opens it when renamed into .zip, it is
not a zip...

$ file midicomp-0.0.4.tar.gz
midicomp-0.0.4.tar.gz: POSIX tar archive (GNU)

It is an uncompressed tar file (.tar file, not .tar.gz) , I guess
someone forgot to add the -z option when creating the archive ;)

It is fixed now, thanks for reporting.
