GNU cpio NEWS -- history of user-visible changes. 2007-06-08
Copyright (C) 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
See the end of file for copying conditions.
Please send cpio bug reports to <bug-cpio@gnu.org>.
Version 2.8 - Sergey Poznyakoff, 2007-06-08
* Option --owner can be used in copy-out mode, allowing to uniformly override
ownership of the files being added to the archive.
* Bugfixes:
** Symlinks were handled incorrectly in copy-out mode.
** Fix handling of large files.
** Fix setting the file permissions in copy-out mode.
** Fix CAN-2005-1111
Version 2.7 - Sergey Poznyakoff, 2006-10-21
* Improved error checking and diagnostics
* Bugfixes
** Fixed CAN-1999-1572
** Allow to use --sparse in both copy-in and copy-pass.
** Fix bug that eventually caused copying out the same hard-linked
file several times to archive.
** Fix several LFS-related issues.
** Fix Debian bug 335580.
Version 2.6 - Sergey Poznyakoff, 2004-12-20
* Added NLS support
* Improved configure script
* Improved invocation consistency checking and help output
* Printing warning about truncation of inode numbers is suppressed by
default. See below.
* New option --warning (-W) controls the level of output warnings:
-Wnone Disables all warnings
-Wtruncate Enable warning about truncation of the inode number
-Wall Enables all warnings
To disable a particular warning, prefix its name with 'no-', just
like in gcc.
* New option --to-stdout extracts files to standard output.
* The output of `cpio --help' is largely improved.
* Bugfixes:
** If a file grew n bytes in copy-pass mode, these n bytes got prepended
to the contents of all subsequent files.
** Padding the archive with zero bytes upon truncation of the file being
archived was broken.
Major changes in version 2.5:
* bug fixes from Debian, Red Hat, and SuSE GNU/Linux Distribution patches
* --rsh-command option
Major changes in version 2.4:
* new texinfo documentation
* --sparse option to write sparse files
* --only-verify-crc option to verify a CRC format archive
* --no-absolute-paths option to ignore absolute paths
* --quiet option to supress printing number of blocks copied
* handle disk input errors more gracefully
Major changes in version 2.3:
* in newc and crc format archives, only store 1 copy of multiply linked files
* handle multiply linked devices properly
* handle multiply linked files with cpio -pl even when the source and
destination are on different file systems
* support HPUX Context Dependent Files
* read and write HPUX cpio archives
* read System V.4 POSIX tar archives and HPUX POSIX tar archives
* use rmdir, instead of unlink, to delete existing directories
Major changes in version 2.2:
* handle link counts correctly when reading binary cpio archives
* configure checks for some libraries that SVR4 needs
Major changes in version 2.1:
* cpio can access remote non-device files as well as remote devices
* fix bugs in the MS-DOS port
* add --swap equivalent to -b option
Version 2.0 adds the following features:
Support for the SVR4 cpio formats, which can store inodes >65535, and
for traditional and POSIX tar archives. Also adds these options:
-A --append append to instead of replacing the archive
-V --dot print a dot for each file processed
-H --format select archive format
-C --io-size select I/O block size in bytes
-M --message print a message at end of media volumes
--no-preserve-owner don't change files' owners when extracting
-R --owner set files' owners when extracting
-E --pattern-file list of shell filename patterns to process
-s --swap-bytes handle byte-order differences when extracting files
-S --swap-halfwords ditto
-b like -sS
-I input archive filename
-k recognize corrupted archives (we alawys do it, though)
-O output archive filename
Some options of previous versions have been renamed in 2.0:
--binary was replaced by --format=bin
--portability was replaced by --format=odc
Some options have changed meaning in 2.0, for SVR4 compatibility:
-O used to select the binary archive format, now selects the output file
-V used to print the version number, now prints a dot for each file
Version 2.0 also fixes several bugs in the handling of files with
multiple links and of multi-volume archives on floppy disks.
