Steve Cohen commented on MASSEMBLY-670:
---------------------------------------
The culprit seems to be the <lineEnding> tag. This seems to cause a temporary
folder to be created in which the file is modified and this process changes the
modified date of the archived file. Removing this tag from one of the file
sets caused its timestamps to be unmodified while those which had the tag still
had their timestamps modified.ut it'
I guess this makes sense in some way but it's undesirable from the point of
view of my use case.

> Key: MASSEMBLY-670
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-670
> Project: Maven Assembly Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: component descriptor
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Environment: linux
> Reporter: Steve Cohen
>
> The .tar.gz archives created by the assembly plugin do not preserve the
> timestamps of the files it adds to the archive. There is no setting to
> override this.
> This differs from the functionality of the tar program. That program
> preserves timestamps by default, when adding to the archive and there is no
> option to change this, although there are options to change the timestamps on
> extraction.
> The maven plugin should emulate tar here, I would think.
