[bin/141175: New cpio(1) in FreeBSD 8 regressed and left out a previous option: -V (dots) [regression]] Message-ID: <74753F42-A2CE-4DDD-8CD9-226BB8ECC9D5@nostrum.com>

When FreeBSD-8 came out, it came with a newly rewritten cpio(1) that no = longer offered an option I originally started using with SunOS/Solaris, = but came to expect on FreeBSD and Linux as well. Since it was pretty = trivial to add it back, I did so and offered the patch in PR bin/141175: <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D141175>; The option is "-V" to print a dot per file copied rather than the much = more verbose "-v" and the dots variant that can be useful for some = feedback when copying a large hierarchy. My PR was filed on 2008/Dec/4, over a month ago, yet there has not even = been a single response to it. Did I mis-file it? Thanks, Philip
