Thanks for the investigation and patch. mtime is easy to spoof, but this seems like a reasonable patch to avoid the worst of the BLODA issues. I'll probably apply it and push out a new cygwin tar build soon. I think the patch should remain cygwin-only, and not go upstream. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
