BUG: /bin/pwd -P doesn't expand all symlinks

2015-10-22 Thread Mark O'Keefe
Hi, While using /bin/pwd -P to expand directories to get the absolute, non-symlinked version of the directory I discovered that this doesn't work on Cygwin as I believe it is meant to work. $ cd /tmp $ /bin/pwd -P /tmp $ ln -s /home . $ cd home $ /bin/pwd -P /home $ pwd /tmp/home $ mkdir dummy

Problem with tar 1.25 (request update to 1.26 please?)

2012-09-12 Thread Mark O'Keefe
The current distributed version of tar (1.25) has bugs in it which prevent it working correctly for backups. This is NOT a cygwin only defect. The defect is upstream and resolved in version 1.26. Refer to bug: http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-tar@gnu.org/msg02999.html For use with amanda backu
