It's 14 years since cp -R was added to POSIX. In 2022, I am ok with assuming that recursive copy is a solved problem. > The Autoconf manual still has some caveats about using "cp -R", for > example.) What are the relevant caveats? Literally the only possible one I can see is: "AIX 5.3 'cp -R' may corrupt its own memory with some directory hierarchies and error out or dump core" Does Emacs support that platform? If it does and this issue happens, the fall-back to tar will handle it. I point out once again that the current code is buggy and leads to files being installed with the wrong owner.
