Rough draft on how this could be done.
Accurate mtime for directories
Copies the behaviour of
tar
where each directory will be queued to have its timestamps modified after all files have been extracted. Otherwise, any directory with any files contained will be modified the instant those files are extracted.Overwrite symlinks
Minor inconsistency, files were overwritten, symlinks were not. Now, this behaviour is consistent and configurable. (Maybe make the default
true
?)Preserve ownership
On unix platforms, perform
chmod
on all extracted entries. For any uid different from the user of the process, this will only work when running as uid 0 or using fakeroot (if linked dynamically).
