Hm, why is then the raw metadata appended to the sysupgrade.tar files in the first place? Shouldn't it be a inside a file in the .tar as well? Or what's your solution supposed to look like otherwise? Add gzip handling to the fwtool?

All image checks are done after zcat; if this is not the case for the fwtool checks, IMO the checks need to be adjusted, not the image generation.

[LEDE-DEV] [PATCH 1/5] build: append metadata for supported images.gz
Targets that either directly or indirectly set CONFIG_TARGET_IMAGES_GZIP currently have no way to append the metadata at the end of new image creation process. And this is going to be necessary in order to convert the targets to use the new fwtool assisted platform check. These will include for example x86(_64), RPI, and MyBook Live images. Note: append-metadata does internally check if SUPPORTED_DEVICES is set, before adding the metadata. Hence, it will not interfere with existing targets that have not been converted.
