#52454: nxcomp: cp: illegal option -- a ---------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: ionic@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: nxcomp | ---------------------------+--------------------- Comment (by ionic@…): Hmm, `-pPR` is not really always equivalent, the man page on 10.9 for `gcp` says `-a` is equivalent to `-dR --preserve=all`, while Apple's `cp` says `-pPR`. According to the Apple `cp` usage note, it doesn't know the `-d` option, though, so meh. It will depend on what `cp` is being used and if users are crazy enough to add the non-g-prefixed `gnubin` directory to the `PATH` value. But that's probably the user's problem... -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52454#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for the Mac operating system
