Fedora Core 4 Update: cpio-2.6-8.FC4

--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-1040 2005-10-31 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 4 Name : cpio Version : 2.6 Release : 8.FC4 Summary : A GNU archiving program. Description : GNU cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive. Archives are files which contain a collection of other files plus information about them, such as their file name, owner, timestamps, and access permissions. The archive can be another file on the disk, a magnetic tape, or a pipe. GNU cpio supports the following archive formats: binary, old ASCII, new ASCII, crc, HPUX binary, HPUX old ASCII, old tar and POSIX.1 tar. By default, cpio creates binary format archives, so that they are compatible with older cpio programs. When it is extracting files from archives, cpio automatically recognizes which kind of archive it is reading and can read archives created on machines with a different byte-order. Install cpio if you need a program to manage file archives. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Mon Oct 31 2005 Peter Vrabec <pvrabec(a)redhat.com> 2.6-8.FC4 - fix checksum error on 64-bit machines (#171649) - fix large file support, archive >4GiB, archive members <4GiB (#160056) - fix race condition holes, use mode 0700 for dir creation --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/ 17d669e985d7f408def6efe038969576 SRPMS/cpio-2.6-8.FC4.src.rpm 9d10fd7bd563be9781716189b1e18d1f ppc/cpio-2.6-8.FC4.ppc.rpm d9cbc8ef240252938f222410e6b37304 ppc/debug/cpio-debuginfo-2.6-8.FC4.ppc.rpm a09f0049ba17f6a9beea9afcfd08c39f x86_64/cpio-2.6-8.FC4.x86_64.rpm 7cfb696791d4afcd8b772d6d62dccaa0 x86_64/debug/cpio-debuginfo-2.6-8.FC4.x86_64.rpm 850226f39e081a166b9e5023de304cce i386/cpio-2.6-8.FC4.i386.rpm f4a7d9650febd07aaa5fd00393d8463c i386/debug/cpio-debuginfo-2.6-8.FC4.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
