Hello, I am pleased to announce the release of GNU cpio version 2.7.
GNU cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive. It supports various archive formats, among them: binary, ASCII (both old and new), crc, HPUX binary, HPUX old ASCII, old tar, POSIX.1 tar. When extracting from archives, cpio automatically recognizes which kind of archive it is reading and can read archives created on machines with a different byte-order. For more information on cpio, including links to file downloads, please see its web page: http://www.gnu.org/software/cpio and the the project page http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/cpio. GNU cpio is available from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/cpio and the mirror sites worldwide (see http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html for the list of those). The MD5 checksums of the files are: 69ad6cb3d288aafe5f969f68d9fd0fb7 cpio-2.7.tar.bz2 c18eaf92f8dbc328509557c6f073605a cpio-2.7.tar.bz2.sig 8858d344d392f32621032039e1bf7b95 cpio-2.7.tar.gz 7368e5dcd6603de1a5aa902c5f8612e4 cpio-2.7.tar.gz.sig The list of user-visible changes follows: * Improved error checking and diagnostics * Bugfixes ** Previous version used umask 0 when creating files using the -O (archive) or -F options, which created the files with mode 0666 (CAN-1999-1572). ** Allow to use --sparse in both copy-in and copy-pass. ** Fix bug that caused copying out the same hard-linked file several times to archive. ** Fix several LFS-related issues. ** Fix checksum calculation on 64-bit machines (Debian bug #335580).
