The command: install -D <source> -T <dest> makes parent directories as needed for the destination. For example if destination is: /long/path/to/dest it will create /long/path/to as with mkdir -p /long/path/to.
It would be nice to provide a similiar (symmetric) feature for the corresponding -t command. The corresponding syntax: install -D <source> -t <destdir> could create all the components of the destination dir. For example: install -D source -t /long/path/to/dest/dir could create /long/path/to/dest/dir if it doesn't already exist. Actually the user has to firstly create the destination dir with: mkdir -p <destdir> and then: install -D <source> -t <destdir> Cheers -- I'm all for computer dating, but I wouldn't want one to marry my sister. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
