Same modification time of files in archive

Question

Data archiving

After unpacking (in the archive itself, too) many frameworks, etc. distributions, the files have the same last modified time. As far as I understand, this is done when creating the archive, but I did not understand how.

Where can I find this option, for example, in WinRAR?

Answer 1

acritum.com/winrar/console-rar-manual
Example:
Set archive time to latest file:
rar ch -tl files.rar

Answer 2

I think there are two ways. Or write your own archiver if the format is open and a library is available (7z for example). Or prepare files in a special way before compression (copy to the side and set them all the desired change time).
I myself could not find the necessary keys (WinRar/7Zip).

Answer 3

In console RAR, there is this option:
ts<m,c,a>[N] Save or restore file time (modification, creation, access)
