Description Michael Shigorin 2010-10-23 20:11:27 MSD

If we untar the template cache while messing with usernames/groupnames/uids/gids, things can go very wrong.  So better leave permissions alone as they are in tarball.

Patch here:

Comment 1 Dmitry V. Levin 2010-10-23 20:23:43 MSD

$ git grep numeric-owner
scripts/vps-create.in:	local TAR_OPT="--numeric-owner"

Isn't it enough?

Ah, commit 58cdfb09cd70c37a14df14d34ad8b0c8e155c9f2 was quite post-4.0 (Oct 2009).
Stumbled upon this with vzctl-3.0.18-alt1 -- as the backport is not very likely, let's invalidate this.
