It turns out that TarFile.addfile() doesn't provide a reasonable default timestamp, resulting in files dated to 1970 (they're probably wearing bell-bottoms and listening to disco too). Then, when the bdist_egg command tries to create a *zip*file with those files, it explodes because zipfiles cannot handle timestamps before 1980 (it prefers boomboxes and jackets with straps on the shoulders, thank you very much). This puts a modern time.time() on the members of the tarfile, allowing future cryptocoderarchaeologists the opportunity to make fun of fashion trends from the user's chosen era, rather than an artificially older one. refs #1342
========== Tahoe-LAFS ========== Tahoe-LAFS is a Free Software/Open Source decentralized data store. It distributes your filesystem across multiple servers, and even if some of the servers fail or are taken over by an attacker, the entire filesystem continues to work correctly and to preserve your privacy and security. To get started please see `quickstart.rst`_ in the docs directory.
