This will not be fixed. There is a limited set of permissions available across platforms. So ArX will be limited to Owner, Group, and Other premissions to read, write and execute.

For now, I'm not going to worry about all of the different extended permissions. I will wait until the Boost people figure out how to support file attributes, and go from there. It will require changing the archive format, so I am a bit hesitant.

Hello,

I've found small bug while tunning mkpatch directory comparsion code.
Arch's file-metadata utility reports wrong permission on directories:

thinkpad:~/mujprog/c-cc/arch/test1$ ls -la |grep hello
drwxrwsr-x 2 karel karel 4096 Dec 28 21:11 hello
^^

thinkpad:~/mujprog/c-cc/arch/test1$ file-metadata --permissions --symlink hello/
--permissions 775

thinkpad:~/mujprog/c-cc/arch/test1$ cd ../test2/
thinkpad:~/mujprog/c-cc/arch/test2$ ls -la |grep hello
drwxrwxr-x 2 karel karel 4096 Dec 28 21:11 hello
^^
thinkpad:~/mujprog/c-cc/arch/test2$ file-metadata --permissions --symlink hello/
--permissions 775

So difference between test1/hello and test2/hello is 's' omited in the
second case and file-metadata seems to report that directories do have the
same permissions. IMHO other 'extended' rights will be reported in the
wrong way too.

Cheers,

Karel
