[Uml-user] Time Stamp in the future - how to avoid

[Steven Hatfield]

Hello all,
If any of you get messages like:

tar: uml-1.0.2/: time stamp 2001-09-16 17:44:48 is 23458 s in the future

You should know that all you have to do is provide the "m" command line 
option to tar, and it will untar the file without restoring last access times 
on the files within:

tar mxvzf uml-1.0.2.tar.gz 

I hope this helps someone :)

Have a great day!
-Steven
