Package: unzip
Version: 5.52-3
Severity: wishlist
>From [man unzip]:
Dates, times and permissions of stored directories are not
restored except under Unix. (On Windows NT and successors,
timestamps are now restored.)
However, there doesn't seem to be any way to override this. This
means that if the creator of the archive made all files
world-writable, the burden is on me to be in a "safe"
(non-world-readable/searchable) directory before I unzip it. This
doesn't seem correct to me.
To that end, I would propose adding (an) option(s) for:
(a) extract permissions, but respect current umask, such that
extracted_perms = archive_perms & (~current_umask)
and/or
(b) do not extract permissions at all.
