Status changed from Open to Assigned Assignee set to mame (Yusuke Endoh) Target version set to 2.0.0 Thanks, I'll import your fix unless there is objection. -- Yusuke Endoh ---------------------------------------- Bug #7246: FileUtils.cp_r does not preserve attributes of directories https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7246#change-33862 Author: wedesoft (Jan Wedekind) Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: mame (Yusuke Endoh) Category: lib Target version: 2.0.0 ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [x86_64-darwin11.3.0] (({FileUtils.cp_r})) does not preserve the file attributes of directories because the attributes are set before copying to the directory. The following monkey patch fixes this behaviour. However the monkey patch relies on the contents of the source directory not changing during the copy operation. (({require 'fileutils' def copy_entry(src, dest, preserve = false, dereference_root = false, remove_destination = false) Entry_.new(src, nil, dereference_root).traverse do |ent| destent = Entry_.new(dest, ent.rel, false) File.unlink destent.path if remove_destination && File.file?(destent.path) ent.copy destent.path end Entry_.new(src, nil, dereference_root).postorder_traverse do |ent| destent = Entry_.new(dest, ent.rel, false) ent.copy_metadata destent.path if preserve end end module_function :copy_entry end})) -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
