Re: Timestamp/manifest problems caused by Antivirus

Zero Install for Windows already does this. The current workflow is:
1. Extract files from archive
2. Set timestamps for extracted files as specified in the archive
3. Generate and compare manifest digest
4. Make files immutable by setting "Deny Write to All" ACL
The scanner seems to be sneaking in between steps 2 and 3. I've submitted a
bug report to the manufacturer so hopefully this will get fixed.

However, I still wonder whether including timestamps in the manifest digest
hasn't caused more trouble than its worth in the long run.
On the other hand, introducing YAMF (Yet Another Manifest Format) probably
wouldn't exactly "simplify" things either. ;)
