This email is to inform you about the release of version '2.6' of 'GNU
cpio' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can be
found at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/cpio/

The changes in this release are as follows:
NLS support was added. The configure script was improved. Invocation
consistency checking and help output were improved. The warning about
truncation of inode numbers is suppressed by default. The new
--to-stdout option extracts files to standard output. The output of
"cpio --help" was largely improved. If a file grew n bytes in
copy-pass mode, these n bytes got prepended to the contents of all
subsequent files. This has been corrected. Padding the archive with
zero bytes upon truncation of the file being archived was broken and
has been fixed.

Project description:
GNU cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive. The
archive can be another file on the disk, a magnetic tape, or a pipe.
GNU cpio supports the following archive formats: binary, old ASCII,
new ASCII, crc, HPUX binary, HPUX old ASCII, old tar, and POSIX.1
tar. The tar format is provided for compatability with the tar
program. By default, cpio creates binary format archives, for
compatibility with older cpio programs. When extracting from
archives, cpio automatically recognizes which kind of archive it is
reading and can read archives created on machines with a different
byte-order.
