different default on ubuntu and centos

[Gabriele Bulfon]

Hi, I found that the "c" option centos and ubuntu has a different default.

On ubuntu is same as format odc, while on centos is same as format newc.

This creates problem when using common historic shells using "cpio -ic...".

Is there any place where gnu cpio looks for this default that I can change in ubuntu?

 

Thanks
