Description Marcin Garski 2006-11-02 23:46:17 UTC

On 21 Oct 2006 cpio-2.7 has been released. Previous version is almost 2 years
old. Newer one don't include any major changes, but consider updating it.

Comment 1 Peter Vrabec 2006-11-08 13:48:54 UTC

I made src.rpm for cpio-2.7 at
http://people.redhat.com/~pvrabec/rpms/cpio-2.7-1.src.rpm

but I'm not really satisfied. Some important problems were not fixed in new 
release.

Comment 2 Marcin Garski 2006-11-08 16:23:55 UTC

Apache says: 403 Forbidden

Maybe it's worth sending this problems on Bug-cpio mailing lists, and wait for
upstream resolution or fix it itself and send patches to maintainer?

sorry,

Rebuild went fine on FC5. And it seems that after updgrade nothing has been
cracked :)

Thanks for sending patches to ML.

Comment 5 Marcin Garski 2007-06-30 22:08:43 UTC

2.9 relicense cpio under GPLv3

Comment 6 Radek Brich 2007-07-19 15:24:22 UTC
