Re: [Bug-cpio] The permissions of ./ do not change

[mad1ost]

In manual https://www.gnu.org/software/cpio/manual/cpio.html

If you wanted to archive an entire directory tree, the find command can provide the file list to cpio:

% find . -print -depth | cpio -ov > tree.cpio

The -depth option forces ‘find’ to print of the entries in a directory before printing the directory itself. This limits the effects of restrictive directory permissions by printing the directory entries in a directory before the directory name itself.

Аs I understand it's in the case when a directory have no write permission for user who extract the archive, because if cpio create first a directory with no permission to write he will not be able to add a new file in this directory  from the archive.

If dir was create first, why file was create in dir with no permission to write?

address@hidden:~/tmp/copy$ touch dir/file3
touch: cannot touch 'dir/file3': Permission denied

For the second question, should I create a new message with other
subject or can I write here?

As you wish, Andrey. I'm equally comfortable both ways.
