How to set archiver file metadata with a desired date rather than using current date & time

[bhaskerchari]

Hi there,

Is there a way or an api method available using which I may want to set/update my zip file meta info to use different creation/modifed date instead of it using the current datetime by default.

For some reason I want to generate a zip with a specific datetime and not to use the current timestamp. To keep it simple how can I update the zip file metainfo at the time of creation of a zip file using archiver?

Thanks in advance :)

I have the same problem. And I need this to zip AWS lambda consistently. I do not want to redeploy lambda because of timestamps. In my case, It would be great to have zip's hash as a function of content, not timestamps.

I use git manger zip file, don't want zip file change even through the source content don' change.

Want to have the same datetime of original file, rather than change it to the datatime its zipped.
