https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D206809 Bug ID: 206809 Summary: [patch] Add Octal Number Support for install -f Product: Base System Version: 10.2-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Keywords: patch Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: freebsd-bugs@nanoman.ca Keywords: patch Created attachment 166372 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D166372&action= =3Dedit patch to add octal number support for install -f Let's say you have a file that has file flags, and you need to use install(= 1) to install a copy of it that doesn't have file flags. After reading the manuals of install(1) and chflags(1), you try this: # install -f 0 /path/to/foo /path/to/bar install: 0: invalid flag It seems that install -f doesn't support octal numbers. There isn't a sing= le keyword that clears all file flags, so to use only install, you'd have to do this: # install -f noarch,dump,noopaque,nosappnd,noschg,nosunlnk,nouappnd,nouarch,nouchg,nouhi= dden,nouoffline,nourdonly,nousparse,nousystem,noureparse,nouunlnk /path/to/foo /path/to/bar A workaround would be to use both install and chflags: # install /path/to/foo /path/to/bar # chflags 0 /path/to/bar I've attached a patch for /head/usr.bin/xinstall/xinstall.c. This patch ad= ds octal number support for install -f. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
