Package: cpio
Version: 2.6-1
Severity: important
The cpio docs say:
`-L, --dereference'
Copy the file that a symbolic link points to, rather than the
symbolic link itself.
This implies that the normal behavior is to copy the symlink, and
that has been the behavior until now. However:
$ ls -l
total 65
-rw------- 1 tom tom 65000 Aug 11 13:55 big_file
lrwxrwxrwx 1 tom tom 8 Aug 11 13:56 link_to_bf -> big_file
$ ls link_to_bf | cpio -o > cpio_file
128 blocks
$ ls -l
total 130
-rw------- 1 tom tom 65000 Aug 11 13:55 big_file
-rw------- 1 tom tom 65536 Aug 11 13:57 cpio_file
lrwxrwxrwx 1 tom tom 8 Aug 11 13:56 link_to_bf -> big_file
>From the dates on various files I can tell this changed after July 4,
so it has to be something in 2.6-1, the only revision since then.
(Unless it's in some library instead.) I looked through the code a
little but nothing leaped out at me.
Thanks,
Tom Zych
