Version 0.17 of package Cpio-Mode has just been released in GNU ELPA. You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Cpio-Mode describes itself as: =========================================== Handle cpio archives in the style of dired. =========================================== More at https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/cpio-mode.html ## Summary: # -*- mode: org; encoding: utf-8 -*- # $Id: README,v 1.14 2019/01/07 07:44:34 doug Exp $ ## Recent NEWS: # -*- outline -*- # # Copyright © 2019 Free Software Foundation, Inc. # All rights reserved. # # This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify # it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by # the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or # (at your option) any later version. # # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, # but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

The backup file has a timestamp. Since this is really only for beta code, the backup is not intelligent in any way. * Version 0.13̱β ** Clean up for publication to elpa. * Version 0.12β ** Initial beta release. * Version 0.11 ** Fixed a destructive-looking bug in cpio-affiliated-buffers.el. ** Post-development cleaning up. * Version 0.10 ** Finds an appropriate major mode for an entry's contents. It does this with (set-auto-mode). So only entries for which (set-auto-mode) finds a mode get a non-trivial mode. ** New dired-like commands: + cpio-entry-contents-revert-buffer (no key mapping) + cpio-dired-do-touch ("T") ** You can now edit and save an entry's contents. * Version 0.09 ** There's now a find-file-hook and documentation on how to use/invoke cpio-mode. ** Changing owner or group no longer removes marks on the entries on which the change is being performed. ** cpio-affiliated-buffers.el has had some fixes. There were lots of issues around the kill-buffer-hook. It seems correct now. (Of course, bug reports are welcome.) Affiliated buffer tests have been fleshed out some. ** Byte compilation is cleaner. Not entirely clean, but cleaner. ** Some tests have had minor fixes. * Version 0.08 ** Binary format support. As with the ODC format, hpbin = bin if the archive contains no devices, and cpio-mode doesn't handle devices yet. * Version 0.07 ** Fontification (from dired). ** Dired-like commands: + cpio-dired-flag-backup-entries ("~") * Version 0.06 ** Support for the ODC archive format. Note that hpodc = odc if the archive contains no devices, and cpio-mode doesn't handle devices yet. (And it may never.) * Version 0.05 ** Support for the CRC archive format. * Version 0.04 ** Some post-development clean-up. * Version 0.03 ** More dired-like commands: + cpio-dired-flag-garbage-entries ("%&") + cpio-dired-goto-entry ("j") + cpio-dired-mark-executables ("**") + cpio-dired-mark-subdir-entries ("*s") + cpio-dired-mark-symlinks ("*@") ** Fixes to saving an archive. ** Fixes to cpio-dired-do-chgrp/own/mod. ** Automated test updates: *** Automated tests now also check the catalog. *** Automated tests that modify the catalog now confirm that the archive can be unpacked by cpio(1) after saving. *** Automated tests all pass. * Version 0.02 ** You can now save an archive. ** More dired-like commands: + cpio-dired-add-entry ("I") + cpio-dired-display-entry ("f") + cpio-dired-do-chgrp ("G") + cpio-dired-do-chown ("O") + cpio-dired-do-copy ("C") + cpio-dired-do-delete ("D") + cpio-dired-do-flagged-delete ("x") + cpio-dired-do-query-replace-regexp ("Q") + cpio-dired-do-rename ("R") + cpio-dired-do-search ("A") + cpio-dired-find-entry-other-window ("o") + cpio-dired-flag-auto-save-entries ("#") + cpio-dired-flag-entry-deletion ("d") + cpio-dired-hide-details-mode ("(") + cpio-dired-kill ("C-x k") ... ...
