* Preserve mtime explicitly when creating tar artifacts When building tar archives, explicitly set mtime. This avoids losing that information in the minitar `Writer.add_file_simple` method https://github.com/halostatue/minitar/blob/a531136b17b9efdddf0a0f39537845b454c2371e/lib/minitar/writer.rb#L139 * Better default for mtime If for some reason we cant get a time from a File object (very unlikely) a better default is Time.now rather than 0. * Update rakelib/artifacts.rake Co-authored-by: João Duarte <[email protected]> --------- Co-authored-by: João Duarte <[email protected]> (cherry picked from commit d9b95bf)

* Ensure any file object in a tar archive has an mtime Following up on #18091, when minitar writes a directory or symlink it also needs explicit mtime. After inspecting artifacts built from #18019 we see some other missing mtimes. This commit ensures that information is explicitly passed to the minitar writer. * Update rakelib/artifacts.rake Co-authored-by: João Duarte <[email protected]> --------- Co-authored-by: João Duarte <[email protected]>

Release notes
Improvement to logstash release artifacts file metadata: mtime is preserved when buiilding tar archives
What does this PR do?
When building tar archives, explicitly set mtime. This avoids losing that information in the minitar
Writer.add_file_simplemethodhttps://github.com/halostatue/minitar/blob/a531136b17b9efdddf0a0f39537845b454c2371e/lib/minitar/writer.rb#L139
Why is it important/What is the impact to the user?
Files containing mtime 0 lead to undesireable behavior in some use cases #17925 and do not show any clues to modification time. Avoiding setting mtime to 0 in many cases will help provide artifacts with the least amount of surprise to users.
