Jari Aalto has issued an ITP for pax just this week…

is there a straight forward way to build it?


I would expect such a utility to build from source without trouble, 
straight out of the box.  Try it.  It's a whole lot easier to answer 
specific questions -- I tried X and it did unexpected thing Y -- than 
open-ended ones -- can Z ever work in the entire multiverse of 
possibilities?

is pax available for cygwin?

2012-09-28 Thread LMH
I don't see pax in the package manager under archive, so I did a search 
and found a thread about this, but it was from 2004. I need to do some 
copy operations on files with names containing some characters that 
annoy bash, so pax would be helpful.


Is it in there somewhere or is there a straight forward way to build it?
