Cpio 2.12 available

Item posted by Sergey Poznyakoff <gray> on Sat 12 Sep 2015 11:46:59 UTC.

GNU cpio version 2.12 is available for download.

New in this release:

   • Improved documentation.
   • Manpages are installed by make install.
   • New options for copy-out mode: 
     ◦ --ignore-devno: Store 0 in the device number fields, instead of
       the actual device number.
     ◦ --renumber-inodes: Renumber inodes when storing them in the
       archive.
     ◦ --device-independent or --reproducible: Create reproducible
       archives.  This is equivalent to --ignore-devno
       --renumber-inodes.
