Subject: [PATCH] drop lchmod
Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2017 22:23:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <B28814C4-68C9-42E0-AE4F-3F046663C51C@gmail.com> (raw)

lchmod is not POSIX and not supported on Linux.
Keeping it would probably do more harm than good: software checking 
for its presence (i.e. libarchive) will use it and always fail.
