gzip: set file flags after setting file times #23

Closed

ricardobranco777 wants to merge 1 commit into NetBSD:trunk from ricardobranco777:gzip_times

ricardobranco777 commented Jan 14, 2024

gzip(1) cannot preserve the file's times because it first sets the file's flags.

To reproduce:

$ /usr/bin/touch /tmp/foo
$ /bin/chflags uchg /tmp/foo
$ /usr/bin/gzip -v /tmp/foo
gzip: couldn't utimes: /tmp/foo.gz: Operation not permitted
/tmp/foo:         -99.9% -- replaced with /tmp/foo.gz

Already fixed in FreeBSD: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120208
