Package: mc Severity: wishlist Hi Maintainer,
Please forward this to upstream...
I am working on a "tar" VFS and if I add a file, I get the time from the
file
copyin archivename storedfilename sourcefile
^^^^^^^^^^
which is for example:
0: /usr/share/mc/extfs/michelle
1: copyin
2: /home/michelle.konzack/.tddebdevel/projects/tdmc/tdmc-0.0.1/src/test.tarx
3: .BTS_debian.c.cairo/new/0203f86987d6f08f6720329b2c8a0e9c
4:
/tmp/michelle.konzack.rATqyA/mc-michelle.konzack/extfsUsFmlb0203f86987d6f08f6720329b2c8a0e9c
and since VFS does not give the real name, an Archiver-VFS will screw up
the archive with wrong date/time stamp.
I have tried to add the file
-rw------- 1 michelle.konzack private 81920 2008-05-04 16:07
/tmp/michelle.konzack.rATqyA/hcache/0203f86987d6f08f6720329b2c8a0e9c
and gotten this:
-rw------- 1 michelle.konzack private 81920 2008-05-04 23:21
/tmp/michelle.konzack.rATqyA/mc-michelle.konzack/extfsUsFmlb0203f86987d6f08f6720329b2c8a0e9c
I think, the temporary file should be touched with the time stamp from
the original file since from inside the VFS-Script I can not more know
where the original file location was to get the right time stamp.
And of course, why is "sourcefile" a tmp file and not the original one?
Creating the temp files has a bunch of disavantages. If I select e.g.
1000 files from a directory and ty to add it, mc create 1000 temp files
which are unneccesary and produce a very high CPU and IO load.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
