Hello,

Man page states that : = 220;gzip=  normally preserves the mode, ownership and time stamps of files when compressing or= decompressing”.

 

Yet, the real behavior is that it creates file with the ownership o= f the current user that runs gzip (which is the genuine behavior for creati= ng files). May be you could adjust the man to clarify this point ?

Sebastien

Hello,

Man page states that : = 220;gzip=  normally preserves the mode, ownership and time stamps of files when compressing or= decompressing”.

 

Yet, the real behavior is that it creates file with the ownership o= f the current user that runs gzip (which is the genuine behavior for creati= ng files). May be you could adjust the man to clarify this point ?

 

 

Regards,

Sebastien
