In this case, you have decided that your new article belongs in a directory called vpn-w2k. % cd doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles % cp -r committers-guide vpn-w2k " # From cp(1) man page: " COMPATIBILITY Historic versions of the cp utility had a -r option. This implementation supports that option, however, its use is strongly discouraged, as it does not correctly copy special files, symbolic links or fifo's. " cp -r is used in the quick start, despite the fact that its use is strongly discouraged, so we're breaking our own rules. cp -R is a better choice. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: --- cpr.diff begins here --- Index: chapter.sgml =================================================================== RCS file: /home/ncvs/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/overview/chapter.sgml,v retrieving revision 1.21 diff -u -r1.21 chapter.sgml --- chapter.sgml 6 Jul 2004 15:09:52 -0000 1.21 +++ chapter.sgml 29 Nov 2004 19:24:04 -0000 @@ -226,7 +226,7 @@ directory called <filename>vpn-w2k</filename>.</para> <screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>cd doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles</userinput> -&prompt.user; <userinput>cp -r committers-guide vpn-w2k</userinput></screen> +&prompt.user; <userinput>cp -R committers-guide vpn-w2k</userinput></screen> </step> </procedure> --- cpr.diff ends here --- >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
