There is another critical bug in current cpio which makes me wonder whether anyone actually utilizes the full capabilities of a BLFS compiled cpio. Essentially, it doesn't preserve symlinks in the created archives which is a pretty severe bug. All the distros have it fixed. You need to configure it like so: ./configure CPPFLAGS=-DHAVE_LSTAT=1 More info here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-cpio/2005-01/msg00003.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-cpio/2005-02/msg00002.html Regards Greg -- http://www.diy-linux.org/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
