gnu tar opens tgz's with file times in the future
Hello, I'm gnu-tarring files with tar version 1.13.25 on solaris, then untarring with the same version on cygwin. The files are dated 2002-12-31 18:09:xx in the tgz on solaris. When I sftp them to cygwin, the tar programs shows the files to be dated 2003-01-01 03:09.xx. But typing date at the cygwin prompt shows the computer clock to be right i.e. Tue Dec. 31 2002. Cygcheck gives: cygutils1.1.3-1 cygwin 1.3.17-1 I'm using Win2K with SP3. Thanks for any pointers. -- Fred Ma, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Carleton University, Dept. of Electronics 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario Canada, K1S 5B6 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Didn't know gnu tar was made to compensate for time zones..
