And the format seems more stable than that of tar. Because that cpio in POSIX is replaced by pax, which does support the cpio format (and ustar). Maybe we should use pax instead? I am not going to work it, but patches welcome if someone feels this is important. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
