Hi, the GNU cpio (http://www.gnu.org/software/cpio/) in some case (when the folder's property is not contained into package) not set the folder's access conforme to umask setting. % find /tmp/some-folder -type f -depth |cpio -pvdmu /var/tmp the some-folder and your subfolders copy into var/tmp have the access set to "rwx------" (700), not in compliance with umask's setting (as an example 0022). The tar in these cases behaves itself correctly, creating the folders (not contained in the package) compliance with umask's setting. Is this a feature or a little bugs? I have migrate some SCO unix to Linux and this "feature" is annoying. I have watched into fc6's cpio-2.6-19.src.rpm and I have see witch some patch has been added to the original version. But unfortunately I am not a 'C' programmer and I not able to setup a specific patch witch set the folder's access to umask's setting ... What I can do? Is possible add another patch for resolve this problem? I must fill a bug into Bugzilla? Pleas, give me some suggest .... Many thanks to all, and sorry for my bad English -- Dario Lesca <d.lesca@xxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
