When an archive is decompressed, original folder/file date-time stamps should be preserved. Current behavior sets them to the date-time of extraction.
Perhaps this bug being ignored because it only effects serious users; coupled with a strong perception that Ubuntu is only being used to facilitate entertainment (facebook, streaming video, etc.) of non- serious users. I would like to move from an older version of Ubuntu, where archiving works correctly, and take advantage of some of the improvements within Ubuntu 12.10 but I cannot move to a newer version whether 12.10 or 13.04, if archiving remains horribly broken. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1076731 Title: Tar -xpf fails to preserve timestamps (non-empty folders) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tar/+bug/1076731/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
