[A workaround is mentioned here.](https See the [Changelog](https://github.com/Stephen-Seo/SimpleArchiver/blob/main/Changelog.md). +## Other Things to Know + +When storing symlinks, `simplearchiver` will typically store relative and +absolute-paths for all symlinks. If a symlink points to something that will be +stored in the archive during archive creation, then relative paths will be +preferred for that symlink on extraction. If `--no-safe-links` is set when +creating the archive, then `simplearchiver` will prefer absolute paths on +extraction for symlinks that point to anything that wasn't stored in the +archive. `--no-abs-symlink` will force `simplearchiver` to store only relative +symlinks and not absolute-path symlinks on archive creation. + +UID and GID will only be set on extracted files if the EUID is 0. Thus, files +extracted by non-EUID-0 users will typically have the extracted files UID/GID as +the extracting user's UID/GID. + ## LICENSE Information Uses the [ISC License](https://choosealicense.com/licenses/isc/).
