Subject: [PATCH] archiver: Don't try to preserve all attributes when copying files
Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2026 22:31:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260401213104.3109152-1-richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
Similar to https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/commit/?id=2f35dac0c821ab231459922ed98e1b2cc599ca9a
there is a problem in this code when copying from an NFS mount.
We currently use cp -p, which is a shortcut for --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps.
We shouldn't need to preserve mode/ownership, only timestamps. Update the code
in the same way the bitbake fetcher was fixed for consistency.
This fixes build failures on OpenSUSE 16.0.
