Hi Hisham,

The zip command on my Ubuntu 10.04 install seems to have stable / deterministic output by default. When I run the shell commands below no differences between the two zipfiles are reported by cmp:

  echo sample content > contents
  zip test1.zip contents
  sleep 2
  zip test2.zip contents
  cmp -b test1.zip test2.zip

In case its useful the output of zip -v says:

  This is Zip 3.0 (July 5th 2008), by Info-ZIP.

The output of zip -h also mentions an -o option which makes the zipfile as old as its latest entry, but as I implied above this isn't needed.
