Ouch. Yep, plain tar format doesn't store an atime, so the atime value for the entry gets extracted as zero and the archive_extract() routine ends up restoring the file atime as zero. There's a couple of ways this might be fixed. I'm not sure offhand whether it's better to explicitly set the atime to match mtime or to the current time.home | help
