Subject: [PATCH v2] erofs-utils: tests: add test for negative GNU tar mtimes
Date: Wed,  8 Apr 2026 11:33:16 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260408033316.273626-1-hsiangkao@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260407181313.89203-1-ch@vnsh.in>

From: Vansh Choudhary <ch@vnsh.in>

Add a regression test for negative GNU tar mtimes.

It creates a tarball with a file whose mtime is -1, checks that the
mtime field is encoded in GNU base-256 format, and verifies that the
timestamp is preserved after building and extracting the image.

v2:
 - use dump.erofs instead of fsck.erofs;
 - switch to MIT license.
