Thanks for reporting that bug in the gzip documentation. I finally got 
around to fixing it by installing the attached patch, which should 
appear in the next gzip release. This patch fixes some nearby 
documentation problems too.

Hello,
Man page states that : "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 of the current user that runs gzip (which is the genuine behavior for creating files). May be you could adjust the man to clarify this point ?


Regards,
Sebastien
