copying "dir/file" and then copying "dir" results in
"File on disk is not older; skipping" for the "dir" because
it was implicitly created by "dir/file." Among other sins,
this means that "dir" ends up with the wrong permissions
and ownership.
This is actually a libarchive bug; fix is forthcoming.
The number of blocks read from ustar archives is just an implementation
difference. The failure of bsdcpio to emit a block count to stderr
in -p mode is a real bug in bsdcpio.
following the archive structure. In particular, it no longer
crashes if you run it against GNU cpio 2.9 (although it does
still complain a lot more than it should).
understand which code paths aren't possible.
This commit eliminates 117 false positive bug reports of the form
"allocate memory; error out if pointer is NULL; use pointer".
In particular, this fixes the oddity that -dumpl would apply
umask to copied dirs (which are created in the target tree)
but not to "copied" files (which are only linked). After
this change:
$ ls -ld a a/b a/b/c

link, just ignore the -l option and copy the file instead.
In particular, this should fix the COPYTREE_* macros used in the
ports infrastructure which use -l to preserve space but often get
used for cross-device copies.
a. The BSD version will be built and installed unless
WITHOUT_BSD_CPIO is defined.
b. The GNU version will not be built or installed unless
WITH_GNU_CPIO is defined. If this is defined, the symlink
in /usr/bin will be to the GNU version whether the BSD
version is present or not.
When these changes are MFCed the defaults should be flipped.
2. Add a knob to disable the building of GNU grep. This will
make it easier for those that want to test the BSD version in
the ports.

A new implementation of cpio that uses libarchive as it's back-end
archiving/dearchiving infrastructure. Includes test harness;
"make check" in the bsdcpio directory to build and run the test
harness.
