#1364 bsdtar does not restore file modification times

[lindnerb]

Hello,

Using msys-1.0.11 bsdtar to extract archives does not restore the file modification times.
Using bzip/gzip & tar however does.

$ bsdtar --version
bsdtar 2.7.1 - libarchive 2.7.1
$ tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.22

To reproduce, use e.g.

$ bsdtar xf mingwrt-3.16-mingw32-dll.tar.gz
$ ls -la bin/mingwm10.dll
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user group 18207 Oct 27 21:02 bin/mingwm10.dll

and compare to
$ tar xzf mingwrt-3.16-mingw32-dll.tar.gz
$ ls -la bin/mingwm10.dll
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user group 18207 Aug 15 04:57 bin/mingwm10.dll

Charles Wilson surely isn't going to follow this up now, since he is no longer an active project contributor; Cesar, would you care to comment?

The latest libarchive version is 3.3.2, years of maintenance on it. Closing this is most practical, open a new ticket for a newer version on OSDN.
