I check the code against patches which we in openSUSE distribution. I think you forgot to change the type of some variables. You use type "off_t" elsewhere for variables which represents number of bytes/ file size. Attaching patch as cpio-2.9-variable_type.patch. There are also some patches which you can consider to apply. For example cpio-2.9-use_new_ascii_format.patch is widely used in distros like Mandriva, Red Hat and openSUSE. cpio-2.9-doc_typo.patch: This patch appeared in this mailing list some time ago. cpio-2.9-avoid_overflow_warning.patch: Gcc complaints about overflow. I don't know why this hack in the code was used, but IMHO it can be done in way which is more clear what is written where. Last but not least: cpio-2.9-chmodRaceC.patch: This one comes from Red Hat and fixes security issue connected to CAN-2005-1111 in cpio version 2.9. Thank you. Regards Ladislav.
