Hello,
when running zip -X, the file times are not stripped, contrary to
the man page. Also, running zip -A doesn't yield a file that is
identified as an MS-DOS executable afterwards. I think this is
what the program should do, and also what the man page suggests,
since it makes no sense to make room for a program and then not
including it. I had to resort to NT to create a self-extracting
archive, and it still had it's times in :(
Best Regards,

You are right. [ I have never seen file times being stripped. Maybe
the manpage is wrong here ].
I will forward this upstream.

No, zip -A is not supposed to create a MS-DOS executable, it just adjusts
internal file offsets within a self-extracting archive.
To create an MS-DOS self-extracting archive you have to do something like this:
cat unzipsfx.exe whatever.zip > whatever.exe
zip -A whatever.exe
You may get unzipsfx.exe from the unzip distribution for MS-DOS.
(The unzipsfx at /usr/bin in the Debian unzip package is for creating
Linux self-extracting archives, but I think this is not what you want).

Hello.
I have received a report from toni@oeko.net (in the Cc:) which
basically says:
"when running zip -X, the file times are not stripped, contrary to
the man page"
which is true because manpage for zip 2.3 says:
-X Do not save extra file attributes (Extended
Attributes on OS/2, uid/gid and file times on
Unix).
So: Is zip -X really expected to strip file times on Unix, or is this
a bug in the manpage?
[ Please keep the Cc: lines when replying. Thanks ].

Happy new year.
I already asked this, but got no reply. When running zip -X, the file
times are not stripped, contrary to the man page, taken from zip 2.3:
-X Do not save extra file attributes (Extended
Attributes on OS/2, uid/gid and file times on
Unix).
So: Is zip -X really expected to strip file times on Unix, or is this
a bug in the manpage?

I'd like to see it strip all attributes, yes. If that's not what it
is supposed to be, then the program should get an option that does
it. How else can I prevent these attributes to enter the archive?

It's been many years since I messed with this stuff, but I vaguely
recall wanting the capability to eliminate all extended attributes
*except* the UTC timestamps. Have you tried -XX? I don't know if
Zip ever used that technique for anything other than verbosity, but
UnZip did in a couple of places.
Anyway, the upshot is that there definitely should be a way to suppress
all EAs in an archive, but I have no idea what the actual status is.
That's Onno's department to explain, debug, and/or fix.
