Description Erik Johnson 2020-02-20 15:58:00 UTC

Description of problem:
When running "zip -o FILE.ZIP", the program creates a temporary copy of the original zip named "ziXXXXXX", before touching the original and deleting the copy.  This seems entirely unnecessary and resource-consuming for large files.  It should simply scan the central directory and calculate the MAX(date) from there.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Zip 3.0 (July 5th 2008)

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have (large) zip archive.
2. zip -o FILE.ZIP
3. watch directory under zi*

Actual results:
Free space is consumed while running update, with correct results after several minutes or so depending on size of archive

Expected results:
Immediately re-touched zip file

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 34 on 2022-06-07.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '34'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 34 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.
