https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D206809 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |jilles@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #1 from Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org> --- This change is not necessary for this purpose, since install(1) flags work differently from chflags(1). With chflags(1), you specify changes to the fl= ags but with install(1), if you specify -f, it overrides all the flags. Therefo= re, you can use install -f '' /path/to/foo /path/to/bar If you want to copy flags using stat -f %Sf, you will unfortunately need a special case for no flags, as stat will write '-' which install (and chflag= s) will not accept. Something in me does not like proliferating octal numbers further. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
