perhaps this is a great opportunity for interested developers to create a new -H type that: o has no limits, period o is portable, period o fully specifies all edge cases to the finest detail (including trailing slash, relsyms, duplicate entries, permissions on dirs, etc.) o allows for future features (like marking pathnames for deletion) o is simple enough to implement widely then people can use the great cpio interface with this new format, and at some point in the future it will become standard, because it's so bloody good. -- Webmaster: do you believe that people will (a) switch browsers to view your "best viewed with" page or (b) go to your competitor? _______________________________________________ Bug-cpio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cpio
