Hi all, This proposal is: export copyPermissions from System.Directory http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3392 (originally part of http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2610) The copyPermissions :: FilePath -> FilePath -> IO () function (currently an internal function) should be exported from System.Directory. It is not the same as getPermissions s >>= setPermissions d as the Permissions type this uses is lossy. Deadline: 8th August (2 weeks). Thanks Ian
