In the case of use in the form
tar -cf - 123.png | gzip -n -c >png.tar.gz tar -cf - 123.png | gzip -n -c >png2.tar.gz
The checksums of the md5sum
archives are the same. If I save the extended file attributes to the archive with the appropriate options
tar --acls --xattrs -cf - 123.png | gzip -n -c >png.tar.gz tar --acls --xattrs -cf - 123.png | gzip -n -c >png2.tar.gz
then the checksums of the archives are always different. Why is that? Can this be circumvented?
