Hi;

Tim has some patches I made to add support for birthtime in libarchive (only in extended pax format) as a LIBARCHIVE.creationtime attribute.

Since birthtime is set by modifying mtime twice with utimes(2), the only criteria I used to determine if birthtime should be stored is if it was less than mtime. I hope something can be done to make that behavior consistent with UFS2 in all other filesystems.

cheers,

   Pedro.
