[jira] [Closed] (COR-27) dfutil -unzip should preserve time stamps

["Peter Kelly (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COR-27?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Peter Kelly closed COR-27.
--------------------------
    Resolution: Not a Problem

dfutil -unzip is only there for testing the zip functionality - it's not intended as a general-purpose unzipping tool (there are plenty of those and it's outside the scope of Corinthia to provide this functionality).

Our use of zip/unzip functionality in Corinthia is only for the purpose of creating and modifying package formats like OOXML, ODF, and EPUB which use zip as their format. The DFStorage abstraction represents only filenames and contents and is deliberately simplified to exclude information that isn't necessary for this purpose. For .docx, .odt, .epub and similar file formats, the only relevant timestamp information is that on the archive itself.

> It is preferable that dfutil -unzip preserve the timestamps, when valid, on the original files.
