great! this means that after it's propagated to cygwin and other systems, cautious users can remove preprocessing like grep -v '^/$' | sed 's,^/,,' | (cd /; cpio -o ...) and replace it with cpio -o --no-absolute.... > I have got no information on these.

If you have any weird. they are in the archives. you did not get? i sent bug 306693 to debian and cc:ed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] i then reported an exploit that is even worse (impossible to detect without -v option) to debian only. i then noticed that nothing was happening on bug-cpio archive and the server was being moved, so resent both to bug-cpio. then after a while i sent the one you replied to. recently i found the gentoo patch and some secunia thing, both of which only seem to cover some of the issues. various archivers have been slowly fixing some of the issues, but not all of them. i was kind of surprised at no response from anybody anywhere at debian or bug-cpio. so i was wondering if i was the last cpio user outside rpm:-). _______________________________________________ Bug-cpio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cpio
