Description

There are a few ways we deal with archives both at the pipeline input level and inside pipelines and many style of archives.
We should review and ensure we are using a consistent approach across pipes and pipelines for these
- docker images
- package archives
- rootfs/VM images

Also we are not doing much of anything beyond a shallow extraction of a project input which means we may miss out on certain metadata in some cases.
