Feature request: list files in an archive about archive

[jimhester]

Unless I am misunderstanding your question this is what archive::archive() does

download.packages("fs", ".")
#>      [,1] [,2]               
#> [1,] "fs" "./fs_1.2.6.tar.gz"
archive::archive("fs_1.2.6.tar.gz")
#> # A tibble: 266 x 3
#>    path                               size date               
#>    <chr>                             <dbl> <dttm>

Sorry, missed that. In browsing the docs I misinterpreted the function title "Construct a new archive", as creating the archive on disk, rather than creating the archive R object.
