Hello, I am pleased to inform you that the new stable release of GNU cpio is available for download. See the end of this message for the list of new features in this release.
Here are the compressed sources: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/cpio/cpio-2.12.tar.gz (1.7MB) ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/cpio/cpio-2.12.tar.bz2 (1.2MB) Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/cpio/cpio-2.12.tar.gz.sig ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/cpio/cpio-2.12.tar.bz2.sig Use nearest mirror for higher download bandwidth: http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html Here are the MD5 and SHA1 checksums: fc207561a86b63862eea4b8300313e86 cpio-2.12.tar.gz 93eea9f07c0058c097891c73e4955456 cpio-2.12.tar.bz2 b366685662ab26661c6204b4631af6232e48be3f cpio-2.12.tar.gz 60358408c76db354f6716724c4bcbcb6e18ab642 cpio-2.12.tar.bz2 [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify cpio-2.12.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 55D0C732 and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command. This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Autoconf 2.69 Automake 1.14 Makeinfo 5.9.93 Gnulib v0.1-542-gff871fc Gettext 0.19.6 Noteworthy changes in this release: * Improved documentation. * New options for copy-out mode: ** --ignore-devno Store 0 in the device number fields, instead of the actual device number. ** --renumber-inodes Renumber inodes when storing them in the archive. ** --device-independent or --reproducible Create reproducible archives. This is equivalent to --ignore-devno --renumber-inodes. Regards, Sergey -- If you have a working or partly working program that you'd like to offer to the GNU project as a GNU package, see https://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html.
