Hi!
Normally, I'd just commit this and wait for the flak, but since I'm changing
the default behaviour when copying directories, I thought people might care.
This patch fixes PR#27970 (directory times not preserved with -p) and
PR#31633 (non-empty read-only directories not copied). It does so by
setting times and permissions on directories in the post-order phase of
the file hierarchy traversal.
Review point 1: there is a minor functional change with this patch:
umask is now applied to copied directories (assuming -p not specified)
$ umask 027
$ mkdir foo
$ chmod 777 foo
$ cp -r foo bar1
$ patchedcp -r foo bar2
$ ls -ld foo bar?
drwxrwxrwx 2 mckay wheel 512 10 Dec 00:29 foo
drwxrwxrwx 2 mckay wheel 512 10 Dec 00:29 bar1
drwxr-x--- 2 mckay wheel 512 10 Dec 00:29 bar2
$
I believe the new behaviour is correct. It follows SUSv2, and matches
GNU cp. I know of nothing that will fail with this change.
Review point 2: in order to avoid a chmod() per directory in the normal
case, there is a complicated conditional to set curr->fts_number. If
I changed this to simply:
curr->fts_number = dne;
then readability and testability would be enhanced, at the cost of a
couple of unnecessary chmod() system calls. I'm leaning towards ditching
the conditional. Anybody against?
I'll commit this is a day or two, unless there are any problems. Also,
there are a number of other open PRs against cp which I hope to commit
fixes for. In particular PR#17389 should be fixed. Oh, and the typo
fix to util.c is sort of a freebie. :-)
Stephen.
PS Some people use -audit for code reviews. But the charter claims it
is for security auditing. Which is right?
