Zip too? I thought only on Windows, while tar retains unix permissions.

All archive formats do it, afaik.

But i'm sure there was an issue somewhile ago, because zip only preserves Windows permissions...

There's a bunch of zip implementations(Info-Zip, Gzip, 7-Zip, PKZip, Pigz, etc.), so perhaps an older version of one of the implementations didn't support preserving the Linux executable permission in the past.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
