cpio @ Savannah: GNU cpio version 2.14

GNU cpio version 2.14 is available for download.

New in this version:

New option --ignore-dirnlink


Valid in copy-out mode, it instructs cpio to ignore the actual number of links reported for each directory member and always store 2 instead.

Changes in --reproducible option


The --reproducible option implies --ignore-dirlink.  In other words, it is equivalent to --ignore-devno --ignore-dirnlink --renumber-inodes.

Use GNU ls algorithm for deciding timestamp format in -tv mode

Bugfixes

  • Fix cpio header verification.
  • Fix handling of device numbers on copy out.
  • Fix calculation of CRC in copy-out mode.
  • Rewrite the fix for CVE-2015-1197.
  • Fix combination of --create --append --directory.
  • Fix appending to archives bigger than 2G.
