Thanks for the Updates about 7-Zip. But IMHO it is not really an issue, just a little 'manufacturing byproduct'.
It does not bother me at all. I just ignored it. But Thomas was right in
observing that it was different from the previous releases: OpenSSL
1.1.1a did not create that file when it was extracted by the same 7-zip
version.
This change was introduced by https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/7692:
Previously, the tarballs were created using the `tar` command, while nowadays it's done
using `git archive`, see util/mktar.sh:
git archive --worktree-attributes --format=tar --prefix="$NAME/" -v HEAD \
| gzip -9 > "$TARFILE.gz"
And it's git that adds this comment.
