Create common POSIXArchiveEntry for use with tar/cpio/dump
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: COMPRESS-136
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-136
Project: Commons Compress
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Archivers
Reporter: Bear Giles
Priority: Minor
There's currently a top-level ArchiveEntry but many archivers are for POSIX (or
POSIX-like) filesystems with standard attributes - ownership, permissions,
access times, etc. By creating a common ArchiveEntry class for these attributes
it will be much easier to write archive-agnostic extraction software. (Many of
the existing methods should be marked 'deprecated' but left in place
indefinitely.)
I have a prototype of this class in my dump patch.
