Steve Cohen commented on MASSEMBLY-668:
---------------------------------------
Please close this issue. I no longer think this is worth pursuing, given the
fact that it flies in the face of unix prohibition of anyone but root being
able to change file ownership.
> Provide a way to optionally set owner and group of archive files as tar does

> Why isn't there a way to set the ownership of files packaged by the assembly

> The unix tar program offers --user= and --group=. It would be nice if there
> were a way to do this in the assembly plugin
