Hi Piotr, > do these tar commands in here > https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/tree/meta/classes-global/sstate.bbclass#n859 > may somehow be removing timestamps?
Output archive format is not specified, therefore the default (gnu) is used. This format keeps timestamps with second precision. That's what we have suspected from the very beginning. If you intend to create reproducible archives, the right course of action would be to invoke tar with the same set of options. Regards, Sergey
