I think copy_dir should create the destination directory. I can see, however, why you think mkdir is missing if copy_dir "fails". > Also the arg '-P' to cp in Arch::Util::copy_dir appears to have changed > meaning from '--no-dereference' to '--parents'. > > $ dpkg -l $(dpkg -S `which cp` | cut -f1 -d:) | grep ^ii > ii fileutils 4.1-10 GNU file management > utilities GNU fileutils is obsolete and was replaced in 2003 with GNU coreutils; Google for "GNU fileutils". The "--no-dereference" is not portable, the POSIX says "cp -P". It is true that GNU cp was not POSIX compliant several years ago, now it is POSIX compliant. Debian archzoom package may have conflicts=fileutils suggests=coreutils, I suppose (I am not really a Debian user). Or just dump the warning "you will not be able to use tarball_downloading option" if fileutils is detected. Sorry, I can't apply your patches in the mainstream, please upgrade "cp". At some point copy_dir may be implemented natevely. You may help. Regards, Mikhael. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
