http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=968593 Bug ID: 968593 Summary: hardlink utility skips all files with filenames ending with a dot and 6 other characters. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: 13.2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 13.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: Andreas.Koester@web.de QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- I was wondering about some skipped files using the hardlink command line utility, e.g. backup> # hardlink -v . ... Skipping ./20150209/home/koester/.xserverrc.secure ... Looking at the source code ( hardlink-1.0-7.1.2.src.rpm: hardlink.c line 375) shows that this behavior is intended: All files with a filename longer than 7 characters, having a dot and exact 6 other characters at the end, are skipped. I assume this is a reminder of some test case? I can provide a fixing patch, but I'm not familiar how to do it in this portal, so may be someone can give me an idea how to proceede. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
