Today, I did the research necessary to figure out how I could back up the permissions for files in Cygwin, so I can rebuild them after copying the files to ext2 under linux: find mydirectory -fprintf mydirectory.chmod "chmod %m \"%p\"\n" Pretty neat, but why didn't I just tar the directory? I guess it's because I had started out from the incorrect assumption that the attributes I needed had already been lost during CVS checkout under Cygwin, and I never got back to the obvious track after that. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
