Cannot handle filenames which start with '#'. This one has been reported before (bin/35226, bin/41246). My "fix" is different than the one in 35226, I just added the '-N' option which says: when creating a spec, don't ever produce comments and when reading a spec, don't expect comments. The aforementioned fix is probably better than mine. 2. Cannot handle symlink values with non-standard chars. This one has also been reported/fixed previously (bin/35454). My fix is essentially the same. 3. Mishandles fixing owner/mode of symlinks when using -P When using -P in conjunction with -U, mtree chown/chmods the target of the symlink rather than the symlink itself. This does not match the semantics for creation of a spec file where -P gives you the attributes of the link. >How-To-Repeat: Use mtree on non-trivial hierarchies. >Fix: Grab: ftp://www.flux.utah.edu/flux/freebsd/mtree.patch >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
