--- Begin Message ---Package: syrep Version: 0.9-4 Severity: normal The manpage says, that -S and -C can be used for read-only media. However this does not work: $ mkdir test $ chmod 500 test $ syrep -v -Stest.syrep -Ctest.md-cache --update test mkdir("test/.syrep"): Permission denied Wrote version 1. open("test/.syrep/current.syrep"): No such file or directory $ Why should syrep create test/.syrep? Actually no test.syrep was written, so the second message is false. Am I doing it wrong? Support for read-only directories would be nice to have, but if it doesn't work, at least the manpage should be corrected. Helmut
