Hi Jim
I built the snapshot you gave me and indeed it does compile. I submitted another bug about cp not preserving time when copying to a nfs mounted directory. It still doesn't work when coreutils is built and executed on a GNU/Linux RedHat4 system. I could not include this information in that bug because of the failed build. cd coreutils-6.12.208-2441_install_dir/bin ./cp --preserve=mode,timestamps --no-preserve=ownership yes z ./cp --preserve=mode,timestamps --no-preserve=ownership yes /tmp/z ./cp --preserve=mode,timestamps --no-preserve=ownership /tmp/z zz ./cp --preserve=mode,timestamps --no-preserve=ownership /tmp/z /tmp/zz ll yes /tmp/z /tmp/zz z zz -rwxr-xr-x 1 wdtmgr wdtmgr 84564 Oct 3 15:19 /tmp/z -rwxr-xr-x 1 wdtmgr wdtmgr 84564 Oct 3 15:19 /tmp/zz -rwxr-xr-x 1 wdtmgr wdtmgr 84564 Oct 3 15:19 yes -rwxr-xr-x 1 wdtmgr wdtmgr 84564 Oct 3 15:21 z -rwxr-xr-x 1 wdtmgr wdtmgr 84564 Oct 3 15:21 zz > From: Jim Meyering <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: bug-coreutils@gnu.org > Date: Sat, 04 Oct 2008 00:03:01 +0200 > MIME-Version: 1.0 > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > Warren L Dodge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Sorry, I made a mistake on my first submission of this problem.
