Hi cpio developers,

can you please release a new stable version. The current stable version is nearly 2 years old.

Thanks and regards

G. Klein

Hi,
there are new bugfixes for gnu cpio available. Can you build new
binaries please.
    

Unfortunately, those fixes are only in CVS and, as a rule, we don't build
CVS versions of packages (for the reason that the authors are still
in mid-development on that package and it may not be stable).

The last stable release of GNU cpio - version 2.6 - was in December 2004
and we do have that release on our site at
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gnu/cpio-2.6/

I would suggest that you lobby the cpio developers to release a new stable
version, since the current one is nearly 2 years old and they have new code
that would fix issues users have had with the current 2.6 release.
