Hi Koen,
[please keep at least 565202-forwar...@bugs.debian.org in CC:]
a Debian user has filed a bugreport against Afio, please see below.
It seems the problem is, that empty files within Afio archive will not
be checked against file system.
See afio.c:2938
----------8<----------------------------------------8<--------------------
case S_IFREG:
/* does not check file permissions and access times */
if (asb->sb_size == 0)
return (0);
----------8<----------------------------------------8<--------------------
Is this intended behavior?
If yes, why? And we should document it clearly, I think.
Thank you in advance.
Bye,
Erik
