As far as I am aware, libbzip2 does not have - any date-related code at all. - - bzip2 itself copies dates from source to destination files - when compressing or decompressing, using the 'stat' and 'utime' - UNIX system calls. It doesn't examine, manipulate or store the - dates in any way. So as far as I can see, there shouldn't be any - problem with bzip2 providing 'stat' and 'utime' work correctly - on your system. - - On non-unix platforms (those for which BZ_UNIX in bzip2.c is - not set to 1), bzip2 doesn't even do the date copying. - - Overall, informally speaking, I don't think bzip2 or libbzip2 - have a Y2K problem. - -Formally speaking: - I am not prepared to offer you any assurance whatsoever - regarding Y2K issues in my software. You alone assume the - entire risk of using the software. The disclaimer of liability - in the LICENSE file in the bzip2 source distribution continues - to apply on this issue as with every other issue pertaining - to the software. - -Julian Seward -Cambridge, UK -25 August 1999 |
